[modular-debian] Fw: Has the systemd fork already happened?

Miles,

I hope you're on modular-debian, but just in case you're not, I'm
copying you directly...

Have you tried OpenBSD for your server? It's a spectacular OS,
especially for servers. If you don't need virtual machines, it's
outstanding. If you *do* need virtual machines, perhaps use OpenBSD as
guests for Xen.

I've found only two things wrong with OpenBSD:

1) Slow file creation and deletion
2) Very slow terminal writes

Because of #2, it might be better, on commands expected to do a lot,
to pipe its output to a file.

OpenBSD is the most sane OS I've seen, with an outstanding binary
package manager and ports to back it up. If it had a working, hardware
enabled qemu, I'd use it for a desktop. But by far its main use is as
a server.

And report back!  Those of us who are still waiting and seeing, and 
evaluating options might be interested.

Re. Refracta:  unfortunately for those of us looking for server-side 
solutions, Refracta defines itself as aimed at home users.
