Why use OpenBSD?
It's a UNIX. A real UNIX (no systemd)
Uncluttered base system - full install w/X, compilers etc is approx 632MB total on amd64
No services enabled (listening) by default. Installer asks if you want to run sshd
Full featured system (gcc and tools in base)
Supports modern to fairly ancient hardware across 13 platforms (alpha, amd64, armv7, hppa, i386, landisk, loongson, luna88k, macppc, octeon, sgi, socppc, sparc64)
Ported software in package system (9433 packages prebuilt on amd64 for OpenBSD 6.0)
Clear separation of base system and packages
