As a newcomer to OpenBSD, studying the entire FAQ will help you immensely. This is the single best document explaining general usage. |

Yes, you can do what you want with OpenBSD, and use it as any other desktop OS, except using Flash.
Flash is not supported in OpenBSD, so it's possible to watch videos on YouTube, but not all of them, and not with any browser. For example, I've never been able to read videos on YouTube with Chromium, only with Firefox.

Hi lucas34 ! welcome to daemonforums.org, my 2nd home :-)
Yes OpenBSD is so cool as a desktop OS .. I am running OpenBSD -current on Dell/Acer... but also on iBook g3/g4/imac on which X is now working out of the box flawlessly (no font issue no bad screen shapes or such) .. what other OS is as much caring to legacy -as to new- hardware as Puffy ?? Quote:

Hi Lucas,
I'm also rather new to OpenBSD. For trying to find packages you could do the following: open a terminal or go to console: Code:
# export PKG_PATH=http://ftp.somemirror.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.3/packages/amd64 # echo $PKG_PATH # to check the command is understood # pkg_info -Q openbox # COMMENT: see what output you get and hope openbox is in it # pkg_add openbox I haven't figured out how to change the window manager yet, I use fvwm, the standard one OpenBSD comes with but you can change the window manager somewhere in the main menu of fvwm. |

Any further discussion about window managers should be started in a new thread. |

$ xinit /usr/local/bin/ratpoison Apart from fvwm there is also cwm and it's really calm & cool : $ which cwm Code:
