Yeah, OpenBSD is still cheap considering what we get on the discs. The 
installation instructions, ports collection and the warm fuzzy feeling 
alone make it worth the money. That leaflet in the 4.1 box saved me 
hours of misery on my first installation and was remarkably 
well-written - something I've not come to expect in the open source world.

Hope the 4.2 in-box instructions are just as good because I'll 
probably need them again when it comes to partitioning my iBook.
