Its a joke, I think everyone experienced at least once to some extent
installing another OS and ending up in a mess. OpenBSD is used only for
the ``only security issue'' part hinting at our slogan.
xkcd is one of the best comics that I am aware of.

Hmm, I see. Not all browsers display properly. Source always helps. It's a
title, not an ALT, btw.

The Lynx displays only 'alt', not 'title', texts. Old Netscape Navigators
display only alt text on mouseover and no title, too. Quite likely others.
Some do, some don't. I saw only BSD in the cartoon, nothing about OpenBSD
anywhere. My fault, sorry. We are getting off-topic now.

'poor dude' probably never even tried... did you actually read the comic?
meh. I find it more interesting that "BSD" appearently defaults to
OpenBSD and not FreeBSD here.

never fucked up a dual boot. Only tried it two times and both times it
worked. Dual boot is for sissies who can't get a second machine.

Either you knew everything then or you got incredibly lucky. Lots of
times, you aren't lucky even if you knew it all. Maybe if it all went
wrong, you'd have lost all partitions and would be to blame. We all
learn from mistakes and there is absolutely nothing "wrong" about
getting it "wrong". :-)

You have to mess up your dual boot pretty bad to end up with the shark

it's for the massses. still more people know "bsd"
than any of the bsd's by name.
or perhaps the fear that all the ./ crowd will stop reading
the comics if the author sees the openbsd light...
i hope i will live to see the day when openbsd is in penny arcade :]
