[ crossposted due to relative newness of comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.* ]

I only became aware of OpenBSD about a week ago, and have limited 
admin experience and no installation experience with FreeBSD, and 
no contact whatsoever with NetBSD.

I'm bringing up a Pentium box with OpenBSD 2.0 right now.  I've got 
the base system installed and minimal network support operating fine.

OpenBSD was recommended because of the security stance "out of 
the box".  My question is about binary application (read: commercial) 
support...i haven't found docs yet that say anything about 
binary compatibility features for the other *BSD flavors; I have 
seen a few comments about BSDI Netscape and the like working OK.

Have I just not figured out where TFM is yet?  All I've really seen is 
the INSTALL.i386 doc.  Are there equivalents to the Linux HOWTOs?

In particular, I need Stronghold to run on the box.  Anyone 
done so with OpenBSD?  If so, which binary set?

Thanks.
