Hmm, really? I love OpenBSD, but last I checked the installer tells you to create slices then drops you straight into fdisk. Has this been polished up? I'm just concerned "one of the easiest to install" would give a n00b the wrong impression.

well, you could expect someone who handles server to know his ways around partitioning a volume?
Sure, but that's not "easy to install". That's "faster for an expert to install".

The partitioner on Ubuntu's LiveCD is easy to use. (Choose full disk and go)

OpenBSD installer can auto-partition the disk for you.
You are correct, there's a whole disk auto-partition option now. I guess it's been a while. :)
