Most of the OpenBSD "How-to" documents you find from unofficial sources on the Internet are out of date, incorrect, or incomplete. Most. If you use any -- including those you find here on this site -- please keep that in mind and use them with caution, knowing this.

The OpenBSD FAQ is the only official "How-to" documentation. It contains tutorials which supplement the excellent man pages, and is constantly maintained to align with the most up to date release.

Michael W. Lucas has written an excellent book, Absolute OpenBSD, which I frequently recommend. It is not free, but is well worth the investment. Michael writes for an audience with widely varying degrees of skill and experience, and his book is helpful to the newbie as well as to those with years of experience.

Edited to add: The OpenBSD Journal is a news and tutorial site managed by Project members. Tutorials are juried, and accurate at the time of publication.As with systems, where there is no product that equals "security", the choice of programming language doesn't suddenly make applications secure, either. If you are interested in learning about code quality, you might look for a copy of The Art of Software Security Assessment: Identifying and Preventing Software Vulnerabilities by Dowd, McDonald, and Schuh. The OpenBSD Project recommends it, among others. Amazon sells it, and you may be able to find it elsewhere.
Great! thanks a lot

I guess I'll be reading all the OpenBSD's Website then! haha. I've received many feedbacks to go back to the website itself. I think I should start there. plus the recommendations you've given me.

Thanks a million!
