and, guess what, we run pretty big application servers for our customers on OpenBSD on commodity i386 hardware these days, at price tags for the whole installation where you don't even get a spare CPU from sun. the biggest single reason for why this works out today is kurt's work. the linux boxes we tried before crashed badly under that load. -- BS Web Services, http://www.bsws.de/ OpenBSD-based Webhosting, Mail Services, Managed Servers, ...
