It was interesting to learn some about BSD and notes to be aware of if trying BSD and entering from Linux background. I can think of at least two reasons why I today use Linux as my daily driver, both work related: First of all that I for several years had a SUN UNIX work station as my daily driver at work, and secondly when I was on UNIX a work mate at coffe break talked about Linux, it was at the time when Linux was something very new.
BSD is on my thoughts to try one day, as an ordinary driver or eventually as a NAS driver, we'll see if it happens. Furthermore I also think of that I was on macOS for some years, still have it, and macOS is to my knowledge based on BSD. This show gave me more knowledge of BSD, thanks.

Thank you very much for this show. I am BSD curious, and currently have FreeBSD installed on a Thinkpad X270, but haven't done much with it. I have Proxmox on a server, and have TrueNas Scale installed in a VM with disk passthrough for the data drives. It's OK, but complex, and I really have an urge to set up a server with BSD, and provide all of the NAS services and VM services (Jails, I guess) running any services I want to use.
I also have a Wyse 5750 mini tower with Guix Linux installed, but again not being used. I might use this as a test bed to learn about the details of server setup, then reconfigure the main server.
Thanks for the comprehensive overview and show notes. Now I have some homework!

After installing OpenBSD on a machine with 2 network adapters, you can follow the FAQ page for setting up a home router
