Welcome!

Note that OpenBSD 5.1 was released 1 May 2012.

I found a site that told how to go about populating the source and posts tree and am downloading source as I type.
The OpenBSD project is small in comparison to FreeBSD. Much of the information found on the Internet is old, out-of-date, and/or incorrect. The safest & most correct source for information is that produced by the project itself.
  • For information on obtaining source, study Section 5.3.3 of the official FAQ.
  • Unlike other projects, the OpenBSD project advocates using pre-built packages over compiling ports. Unless you are manually changing compiler options, there is no difference between the packages found on the mirror sites, & those generated locally through building ports. Section 15 of the FAQ has more information on the packages/ports system which would be good to understand.
