Hi,

I installed OpenBSD 4.0 and bought the Absolute OpenBSD and I am just delighted.

I have a kind of philosophical question. These 3rd party packages have
sometimes (very often) a "p" sufix. I read that these means the
OpenBSD team has modified the package because of stability/security
reasons... this is awesome! But what do they mean with that? How big
can such a "p" be? Can you give me an example? I am just very curious.

Cheers,

Pau
