Seeing and hearing that Lamborghini was a pleasant surprise. I'd also be interested in checking out one of the Tesla motor cars.
Daniel, what you think is a nice exotic sports car ? Me gusta tambiC)n discutir alimentaciC3n. So maybe OpenBSD isn't all flashy and gaudy like that Lamborghini, but then I wasn't concentrating on that.

Granted, it may not be possible to use a given operating system on the latest hardware, but then people and corporations (legally persons as well, in U.S. jurisprudence) should contribute hardware to the developers for testing. Imagine what you could do with OpenBSD on an HP n90, hmm.

I only recently started using Virtualbox on my family's computer for testing purposes. That computer needs to be ready at all times. Does it work ? Yes, it's even speedier than I expected. I'd rather have a rack in my computing area with dedicated hardware. For the time being, I just use a bunch of hard drives, a mix of IDE and SATA. The only thing is, this core2 system isn't capable of hot-swapping, at least that wasn't on the list of features. I'm not anxious to test that feature at this time. I don't want to take a chance on breaking it again. MfG, Daniel
