See there Michiel .. beauty lies in the eye of the beholder .. that's 
you opinion ... and by no means it's authoritative .. nor anything 
close to it.

Whether it helps promoting ComixWall or not is debatable .. but that 
OpenBSD is the underlying OS said software is a fact.

Now, regardless of the ComixWall promoting benefits of a couple of mails 
sent the (maybe, maybe not) the wrong list, the fact is that ComixWall 
users .. are actually OpenBSD users .. just as much as FreeNAS or 
PC-BSD users, are actually FreeBSD users ...

So .. in the end, the fact that ComixWall uses OpenBSD as it's 
fundation, _does_ help promote OpenBSD use and expand it's user 
base ... just as BSDAnywhere _does_ help promote OpenBSD use and expand 
it's user base ... just as liveusb-openbsd _does_ help promote OpenBSD 
use and expand it's user base, and so on ..

Uhm .. nobody ever said that .. you must have read it wrong ... or you 
are just .. well .. you know ..

Why would anybody want to do that?
Aren't we all UNIX users?
There's PC-BSD for that matter .. or FreeBSD if you feel so inclined .. 
no need to resort to Linux .. which is a whole different thing 
Michiel ... that was quite a lousy shot there ..
