#+SUMMARY:

I recently gave a talk at work to help introduce OpenBSD to my
colleagues at work. It's a broad introduction to the fundamentals of
security in OpenBSD, as well as some basic system administration tips
and suggestions anyone coming from a Linux background might find
useful.

It's roughly split up into four sections; the history of OpenBSD,
what sets it apart from other operating systems, a guided
installation, and the system administration introduction.

In the original presentation the guided installation was done
interactively with the participants installing OpenBSD in a VM on
their machines to follow along with the slides.

I've tried my best to make it as accessible as possible while still
covering the most important beats. If you find any errors please let
me know so I can correct them, my contact info is on the [[{{< ref "about" >}}][about]] page.
