for dell i'd choose obsd as well... but not for sun. theres trusted
solaris and very good sec-features starting from sol9. also, i figured
out that machine specific tools from the solaris os are not even planned
under obsd.

I am thinking of getting one (or two) of these for my new firewall, just
curious if nayone has any opinions on its suitability in such a role.
Spec as follows;
64bit 360mhz CPU (IIi)
128mb RAM
1 x 18gb 10krpm
2 x integrated NIC
1x PCI (which I intend to put a dual port compaq/intel NIC in)

I have a T1 105, I don't know if it's a problem with my particular
machine or a more general one, but I've tried to use hifn and em in the
PCI slot - cards

I have tried a qfe pci (with 4 hme chips), double fxp cards and single fxp
ones. All are correctly detected, but when trying to send a packet to any
NIC, packet don't reach networks.
Seems that the PCI port on such machine is more or less buggy...
maybe it's not the machine
There are more factors to what OS you want to run other than if it was
written specifically for the hardware you are using. With Solaris's
security record, I wouldn't personally want to run it on any server
that the Internet can touch if I can help it. That and developing an
OS on as many

anyway... i wonder, why one want's to run obsd on a machine, if
there is an os written for this type of hw... if i had to choose
between any other os and solaris on a sun-sparc, i always would
run solaris... make's sense, doesn't
By that logic, i386 systems should always run MS-Windows, right?
nope, because x86 hw is from various vendors and it's almost likely
that they write the drivers (for newer hardware) not ms. especially
if it is very specific hardware as for example a sun netra would be.
the x86 is a very special

i use solaris since 5 years now, and openbsd for 2 years,
and both of them are a good choice.
and... it's always good to have a choice!
it's all about the right tool for the job. (or making it so)
