I am not sure what your question is. Do you want people to answer your questions or improve on the questions being asked themselves?
I also don't quite understand the context of the question: "Q:why do you do what you do?". Do you ask this question in the general and broad sense as in "Why do you lead your lives as you do?" or in a more specific context as in "Why do you use computers as you do?" or perhaps in a different context ...?

Carpetsmoker is saying that you must be more specific.
Why do you do what you do? Can also be "What motivates you to do what you you?" Calm down, no harm is meant. |

Questions are:
1) Are there any new features in KDE or Gnome- but not currently available for OpenBSD- that you wish were available? Are there any features for other systems such as Linux or others that you wish were available? 2) What do you do the most with your system and how does it affect your personal life? 3) Why do you like using and/or coding OpenBSD? 4) What is your view on the OpenBSd community and culture or is that not important to you? 5) Do you have time to socialize? How often? |

I believe your questions are unanswerable in any other way, and I can hardly grasp your reasoning for why you're asking them.

1) KDE4 mobile/netbook setup as an option in packages/ports; but, I am aware that the KDE team is very busy.
2) As BSDfan666 aid, "Everything." It's the main choice for my SunBlade 1000. 3) Security. Support. 4) It's different. Rough around the edges but very helpful. 5) I have depression and using BSD systems helps me concentrate. qmemo, even though people here may seem to be rude, they are not. Give yourself time to learn each person. There is an advocacy mailing list for OpenBSD that you can post the questions to. You can also try the general questions section of linuxquestions.org. Just collect all the data (answers) and try not to reply or get personal. |

First of all, thanks once again for answering me.

1. I use cwm, so kde/gnome is irrelevant. I can't think of anything that stands out as "Jeez, wish I had that on OpenBSD..." 2. At work I use OpenBSD to maintain Linux/PostgreSQL systems. cwm + tmux is outstanding for Unix admins. 3. It just works. I expect that of my workstation. 4. You can't make a diamond without some heat. That's life. 5. I talk to people sometimes if I can't avoid it. |

On OpenBSD itself I do not miss anything from Linux but I would like to see some other things ported like Hammer file system from DragonFly or Solaris technologies as ZFS and DTrace (which will never happen as they are not free). NetBSD has some very interesting stuff coming up for 6.0 release. I am also missing on OpenBSD a damn good system compiler (PPC needs to be finished and that GCC garbage needs to be out). On the desktop side native Opera, IcedTea (which is in works) and why not native Flash would be nice to have. I use Opera via Linux emulation layer right now. Once in very, very long while I need to use Acrobat Reader and plug in for browser. Unfortunately Acrobat 9.0 doesn't work on OpenBSD even under Linux emulation. Native MATLAB would be hand to have on my laptop for prototyping instead of FreeMat. It would be nice if AVASYS drivers for scanners would actually be open sourced for real instead of using Linux specific binary blobs. Fortunately new trend is that better scanners do not need drivers. They can scan directly to USB. If you look carefully all this desktop stuff has nothing to do with OpenBSD. I am simply missing few proprietary programs which would be nice to have. 2.) I work with computers every day. Mostly scientific programming, light system administration, and lots of desktop stuff like publishing (writing papers), data mining etc. OpenBSD doesn't affect my personal life nor the relations with my kids or wife in any meaningful way. Actually, my kids thing that I am cool because I can decrypt scrambled DVDs and do lots of fun stuff with computers that the parents of their friends do not know how to do. 3.) Because it is fun. 4.) I like them and I lake it A LOT!!! 5.) I usually spend all my spare time with my children. I can not recall when I did something on my own last time.
