[..] ...your comparison works in another way as well: A Lamborghini is a car like Jaguar, etc. that you never would use as your primary transportation tool as every repair will take a unpredictable amount of time at specialised garages that are 300 miles away. Your primary vehicle will be something that is reliable, commonly used and well supported. Especially if you need it to make money with it. I believe that one of the major disadvantages of OpenBSD is the lack of installation support / guarantee by hardware suppliers. This could smash your whole roll-out timetable, so our "multi purpose trucks" will always run an Enterprise Linux. But no doubt: Some applications like packet filtering / manipulation, ALG or routing run pretty smart on OpenBSD. Meanwhile we circumvent the problems caused by the lack of hardware supplier's support by abstracting hardware dependencies with the help of virtualizing platforms like VirtualBox (offering some OpenBSD-templates) or ProxMox (KVM / "Other").
