You were just joking, right? Ted happens to be one of the guys responsible for writing OpenBSD, so you'd probably be much better off *asking* Ted why OpenBSD is written and what its uses are. If someone has a viable need of Oracle products, it's in their best interest to get it running on OpenBSD. Sure, you're right that many people are primarily interested in getting supposed "support" from Oracle but forcibly drop kicking Oracle software onto OpenBSD will most likely allow you to find a lot of Oracle bugs. If you've got enough $ for Oracle Inc to think you're important, they might actually consider fixing the bugs you report. If Oracle software is too broken to run properly on OpenBSD and Oracle refuses to fix their bugs (i.e. failure to actually "support" their products), then you might want to reconsider your choice of software to see if there are other alternatives available. When you've got pathetic megalomaniac like Larry The Liar Ellison shooting his mouth off about how Oracle is "Unbreakable" when it's clearly broken, you'd be wise to stay clear of his products. JCR
