OpenBSD: No Remote Holes for 2 Hours !

I found this OpenBSD poster. This is funny because it's almost as stupid as the OpenBSD slogan "No remote hole in the default install ...", or the interviews from theo.
The truth is that even if it can be usefull sometimes, OpenBSD is far from beeing a good operating system for everything (but for a router or firewall it's ok), and contrary to what many people say (because they read that slogan or heard stupid rumors ?), OpenBSD is not really more secure than any other good operating system.
I used to like OpenBSD, but I don't use it anymore because I don't like to reinstall everything 6 months or year in order to upgrade to the new version (that's why I use Debian Stable when I can), because there's no good package system (I have to apply patches myself and recompile when security fix are released), because there's much more patches for anything you want to do on Linux, and because Theo is really stupid.
