Default Re: OpenBSD for a desktop environment ?

I've been looking to do this for a while. The only things holding me
back is the lack of nVidia support, but that's just me. I'll be putting
OpenBSD onto a laptop soon and seeing how many of my needs can be met
without having nVidia display drivers in place. It's just multimedia
performance that bothers me. For now I use FreeBSD as a desktop
environment, but this could soon be changing. If DVD and online media
plays smoothly under OpenBSD on the laptop, then I will be taking this
FreeBSD based workstation over to OpenBSD, too.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Best regards,

Craig
