That'd definitely work and would be a quick install. Plus the man pages 
would actually be useful (I've found them to be much better that linux). 
It isn't linux as requested, but does it matter? One thing to note: 
OpenBSD doesn't have a graphical installer, but it is very straight 
forward to install and the online guides are excellent.
