I'd say give OpenBSD a chance. Eventually, someone will integrate kernel level 3D acceleration ... there may be someone working on it now ... or someone could be working on it with NetBSD and someone could easily port it to OBSD. You say it's still buggy on Linux anyway. Theo won't let buggy code in his tree. OpenBSD is actually pretty easy to maintain, mostly because it's well documented, and there's no front-end gui voodoo. You have to learn to do things for yourself, and RTFM ... but is that so bad? Oh, and it can make 5TB files too :) -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
