So, people say that OpenBSD's man-pages are among one of the greatest out there.
How can we objectively prove this? Do any diffs or comparisons exist that compare manual pages between the other BSDs and Linux, and show OpenBSD having the most-concise and useful documentation?
And what are some OpenBSD-only man-pages that stand-out as being great documentation?

Great documentation won't save you from FBI backdoors that OpenBSD has.
>>54915756
OpenBSD, and most of other BSDs have man pages that actually provide you with examples and sometimes even explain odd behaviors you may run into. A lot of GNU documentation is obnoxiously long and sometimes even tells you to just read the info page instead.

Oh, and here are OpenBSD-only ones.

Very funny, troll. That claim was proven false almost immediately - code audits of the two accused commiters showed nothing even remotely suspicious.

How do pedophiles manage to use computers and almost never get caught? I'm fully aware that there are backdoors, but if it was so easy to trace back as you say, then how come criminals are hard to catch?

Also I think the OpenBSD pf related man pages are a bit better than the FreeBSD equivalents, mostly because pf is from them.

Thanks anon. I think that's a great example.
I also like how some packages in OpenBSD have pkg-READMEs, which provide a lot of really useful, practical and well-written details that other OS's don't have.

Because you need warrants in order to search a person's stuff. You can't just backdoor into everyone's shit and go "HE HAS ILLEGAL STUFF! GRAB HIM!". At least not unless you want even the shittiest of lawyers to be able to have the case thrown out the window. No doubt your shit's being spied on, but nobody's gonna use that method to catch criminals as long as the 4th amendment exists.
>>54916095
Yeah, I love OpenBSD too.
I'm almost convinced you could set up a good firewall with nothing but that man page. And if that's not enough, they have a short handbook about it on their site, which seems more intended for people who never had to set up firewalls before.
