No knives. I recognise OpenBSD has been very late with SMP support - or
were you referring to something else? I don't need SMP myself, I only use
OpenBSD for my (small) hosting business. I like to think I believe in the
"Right OS for the Job", not "Our OS is The Answer, now what is your question?".
I think it's question of priorities - OpenBSD has spent more time on
security audits and licensing issues - one of the articles I read today
mentioned that they have removed/replaced all GPL code from their
kernel. Now they are catching up on other things like SMP; I think its
only here now because a company stepped forward to fund the development
efforts.
