OpenBSD is an really polished operating system built to a much higher, tighter standard than Linux and the GNU libraries are.
OpenBSD is an really polished operating system built to a much higher, tighter standard than Linux and the GNU libraries are. I used it right up until "cloud computing", and then for economic reasons needed to use Linux instead. The biggest problem with OpenBSD has been lack of support for hardware and virtualization, though a lot of the reason for this has been the OpenBSD team's own hostility towards virtualization. I get their reasoning (virtualization is a security issue), but the economic consequences have been devastating to their userbase. The cost difference and ability to run on cheaper hardware was a big reason Linux won out over Windows. It's important to make operating systems accessible to everyone, even those that can't afford full dedicated servers.

> too expensive for our internal server needs; not the right fit for our datacenter partners/customers You and me both.
