For  what? Multi-processor machines  with  stupid  amounts of  RAM
running  a  legacy  Oracle   application? For  developing  XUL  in
Mozilla? For editing  MS Word  documents with  OpenOffice? For Joe
Sixpack  who wants  to AOL  his  IM buddies  and play  shoot-em-up
games?

Please. Use the  right tool  for the  right job. For  many things,
OpenBSD is  the right tool. For  others, it's the worng  tool (and
may well always be).

OpenBSD's  philosophy   is  not,   ``OpenBSD. Now  what   was  the
question?''

Cheers,

b&
