What exactly is "good" with OpenBSD? > It runs overly slow and I have yet had time to figure out why.

These issues aren't present with Linux or FreeBSD. "A C program"? Well, that is interesting. 14 Watts for compilation or just idling? > It was ~ Ł30 and completely fanless, so will almost be the perfect hardware > for a home server once these issues can be resolved.
