For most of my purposes, it Just Works(TM). The firewall rules are user readable and easy to understand, most of the out of the box software with configs follows the same easy-to-read scheme, and it doesn't load anything out of the box that I don't need, it leaves that decision to me and never insults my intelligence. And those man pages... When I changed jobs and needed a service desk suite, I opted for Request Tracker and rolled up a Hyper-V VM running OpenBSD 6.1. Even though no doco exists for this, I was able to make my way well enough that I started to document my process as best I could on the httpd GitHub repo wiki. As a case study, at previous jobs I ran ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus on Windows Server, and the whole required 2GB of RAM minimum. My pokey little RT server has 512MB of RAM and it's all it has ever needed. -- Aaron Mason - Programmer, open source addict I've taken my software vows - for beta or for worse
