OK OK i will not ask how to easily install KDE ;)
But after switching from already useless linux first to Netbsd in 2003 and
then to FreeBSD now long later i started to slowly think of changing OS
i use in production. Why is another story but i need to ask few questions
about future directions of OpenBSD.
I am currently FreeBSD user in production.
Sadly all my moves were only because of falling quality of former OS,
rendering it useless.
So the questions are
0) will there be new graphical installer? Will it output XML for kernel as
FreeBSD do with sysctl? ;)
OK seriously...
1) is ANY form of support for virtualization extension planned?
i fully agree on this:
http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/3651-Theo-de-Raadt-about-virtualisation.html
but i do use virtualization this way. I use it as addition to main system.
My common setup is an FreeBSD server serving all small/medium company
needs which include keeping working images of windows based images running
on server.
I currently use virtualbox. It is disaster in management (but can be
tamed) and quite disaster in security (but not a problem in my setup) ,
but it works well anyway, most often faster than running the same windows
natively ;)
Actually i need only "windows BOX" that will run windows as a process.
qemu without extensions works but it is really quite too slow.
2) is TRIM planned? Quite important thing i think. No TRIM roughly equals
of running SSD with all filesystems full.
The rest is about the tests i want to perform with OpenBSD about
performance for MY needs, not microbenchmarks.. Just not have at present
machine with at least 2 disks handy at home.
From what i tested for now and except points 1+2 OpenBSD have all i
need and more.
