What one does in Gentoo does not apply to OpenBSD. > If I were to use the appropriate base distribution (x86_64), configure my > kernel correctly (as per the likes of > <http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/10/31/OpenBSD.html>) and set the > appropriate compiler flags, is this all I need to do? Linux mannerisms don't apply either - you're better off with the stock kernel. > I'm only really concerned about the base system as I always build all my > LAMPP components, Postfix, etc., by hand so that migrating box-to-box can go > without [a hitch|many hitches]. At times, PpenBSD doesn't seem as snappy as Linux.. (more so with desktop stuff) but then again, Linux *never* seems as stable. So take your pick. I imagine, if you run the standard OpenBSD system on your servers for some time, you'll be satisfied. Cheers, ~Jason
