Commands fail or hang with no visible error.

SSH does not pass the local terminal to remote (never had experienced terminal degradation just from ssh before)

Normal keys like backspace and arrow do not work by default.

Select to copy from xterm to ssh xterm is broken.

Launching certain shell commands having to do with set in xterm brings down the whole xserver.

firefox brings down the whole xserver inexplicably

no installurl default to add packages from.

su keeps the user's environment.

just an all around pile of garbage if you are looking for something you can set up and work with without hours of tinkering.

in contrast if you set up openbsd it WORKS out of the box and what needs to be configured is logical and documented.

I can see no benefit in an OS that is unusable for productive work by default.

looking for specific help with a normal terminal

ssh to remote without buggering the terminal

select to paste between xterm windows

normal keyboard operations

firefox not locking or crashing x. this is another thing: firefox on openbsd does not lock x. on my netbsd system while firefox is launching all other windows in x are frozen.
