I totally agree with what you say... But the goal of our jobs is to satisfy the user and to help him to get what he wants. Saying that i'm not saying I will forget security, performance and stability.
My specific goal is to manage, over openldap the maximum of services. I've been using OpenBSD since the 2.9. My web hosting server is up and running for so many years. I've always managed to get everything functionnal with the minimum possible of mess. I'm trying to advocate that OS because I think it's the only really secured and capable to manage a real High Performance and High Usage system. I've switched so many servers from Linux to OpenBsd everywhere I worked... Otherwise, if I accept the point of view that it's better to use an OpenBSD out of the box without a lot of custimization and with the minimum of software installed, I should accept the fact that I can't do all I want with that OS (All I want as server). that also means that For some usages I have to use Linux. I love Linux as a desktop. But I really want to only use OpenBSD as server. Anyway thank's A LOT for the response, sincerly, and excuse my poor frenchy english.
