I was thinking about spinning up a new instance on vultr to play with.
They have an option to install OBSD 6.3/4. Has anyone tried these? I
attempted the FBSD one in the past, but the default install was all
whacked out and I had to start over with a fresh install.

The default is alright, but comes with keys and passwords they
generated, plus they do a single-partition scheme on the smaller disk
instances and the auto partition on the others. Good for a general
purpose machine, but not so great if you have a specific task in mind.
They also tend to install all the sets.
But since they let you upload an ISO and give you full console access, I
just do a fresh install and customize as much as I want for the system I
am building. Usually so I can get a good partitioning scheme set up
(256m on /, /home, /tmp, /usr/local, /var and swap; with a 1g /usr and
swap) so I can dedicate 15g (Or more) to a partition for whatever task
the machine was built for.
