I'm using it right now for a personal http/minecraft/cctv server. I like how minimal the install is. You get a base OS and then add the packages and customize the scripts as needed. I don't need 30 included text editors that are all terrible and 10,000 libraries that all need weekly security patches.

Which exactly what has 30 included text editors and 10,000 libraries that need weekly security patches.
You suffer from lying for anything that doesn't have systemd. Y'all are starting to look pertty folish at this point.
I'll be checking back for your list that you are going to provide for me. I'll even allow you to admit you were exaggerating, and cut down those 10 thousand libraries that need weekly updates to say, 5 thousand.
Recently? Oh.... just installing it on paranoid schizophrenic's computers who call me ask asking for help because the "sole inventor of Linux and the Xbox" has hacked her router, computer, and any phone she buys in the store.
If she becomes an OpenBSD Wizard because of her condition, the world will be a better place. It will be like Homeland but with computers and schizophrenia.
Been using it since 2005 as my net gateway. Runs a bunch of services and provides net to the home. Never had a problem. Upgrading every release, twice a year like clockwork.

That's exactly how Grandma does it.
As you get older you will learn that grandma was a lot smarter than you thought.
Let's see: simple web server, firewall, laptop, firewall, router, secure storage, firewall, another laptop, home computer, router, firewall, security console, monitoring and I think I forgot a couple...
OpenBSD is rock solid and a pleasure to use. Try it, you may like it.
I use it daily for most of my networking tasks. I use it running as a VM as a virtual router and IPSEC tunnel endpoint as it uses so few resources, so small and compact to install, and it's IPSEC configuration is so much easier than many others.

OpenBSD? Good Heavens! It's still around?
What have you used it for lately?

No, the end result would be an army consisting of clones of this guy who wrote his own schizophrenic OS that thinks God talks to him through it:

It's also a pleasure to develop for. The man pages are a joy. You can just man dev files and get the kernel documentation. Fantastic!
