renice works just fine


Even if renice did have that affect you need to be root to drop it to
-20 so why shouldn't root be able to use all resources, roots the only
user that can fill your disks (at default) completely too.

Security, stability and integrity are very different things often
working against each other. OpenBSD is definately the most secure by a
long way as that is it's primary goal and as it can go for long periods
easily without updates, likely the most stable. One OpenBSD specific
example of security and integrity contradicting each other is that the
security protections can actually make programs such as firefox more
likely to crash (arguably less stable) because of bugs in these
programs that are tolerated by other os. This leads to fixing these
bugs, making those programs more secure and stable. If you need the
latest flash content and the easiest install and maintenance, then
OpenBSD isn't for you.


There's anonymos (old) And I have a couple of my own Openbsd livecd
here, one with a virus scanner on it but it's old now (3.8). There are
guides for building them that are easy to follow. But it won't be as
quick as you will probably like. Installing to hdd will be easier and a
better indication.
