If you are looking at OpenBSD in a production environment as a firewall, ssl accelerator, or for protection from OS privilege escalation when someone else finds and uses an exploit in your apps, run it on bare metal. If you are looking at virtualization to maximize hardware utilization, look at the operating systems officially supported by the virtualization software you choose. If you are looking at Xen for virtualization because paravirtualization might give a lower impact on performance, I would suggest checking the performance impact between paravirtualization and VT extension assisted virtualization on real workloads. But look on the bright side... odds are whatever you are trying to do is probably so full of holes at the application layer even with all of OpenBSD's protections you'll still get sufficiently maliciously pwned through several application exploits. -- Chris Dukes
