Even if renice did have that affect you need to be root to drop it to -20 so why shouldn't root be able to use all resources, roots the only user that can fill your disks (at default) completely too. Security, stability and integrity are very different things often working against each other. OpenBSD is definately the most secure by a long way as that is it's primary goal and as it can go for long periods easily without updates, likely the most stable. One OpenBSD specific example of security and integrity contradicting each other is that the security protections can actually make programs such as firefox more likely to crash (arguably less stable) because of bugs in these programs that are tolerated by other os. This leads to fixing these bugs, making those programs more secure and stable. If you need the latest flash content and the easiest install and maintenance, then OpenBSD isn't for you. > I'm test: my work Mac OS X 10.6.3, FreeBSD 8.1 on livecd > frenzy-1.3-ju-release-rus, my home Linux Debian - renice work more correct. > Why renice algorithm depends from hardware and why I need install OS on HDD? There's anonymos (old) And I have a couple of my own Openbsd livecd here, one with a virus scanner on it but it's old now (3.8). There are guides for building them that are easy to follow. But it won't be as quick as you will probably like.
