If a 5 year old RAID controller is not supported, what can be expected in the future? Yes I'm sure there isn't enough documentation available, license disagreements, etc... but come on, it's 5 years old!
it is that easy: if you can't use the os, don't use it. at least as long as you aren't able to change to situation by either coding it, or donathing hardware or $$$ to raise the developers interest in the particular device or issue
You would think _somebody_ would at least make an attempt at it.
famous last words.
Even the most basic servers nowadays are equipped with a dual core processor.
well, the "most basic" (new) servers are i386/amd64, which has quite usable smp support
Yes I'm pretty sure that OpenBSD features a lot of proper, decent and intuitive code, but performance in some areas lacks tremendously.
i'm sure the developers will gladly accept your proper bug reports
I'm not saying OpenBSD is a bad operating system. Far from it. However I would only use it for routers, firewalls, bridges, etc... Anything that has to do with networking because after all, OpenBSD's networking is great. Outside these areas OpenBSD is just too slow and doesn't support enough hardware.
