I have to take issue with that statement...
The list of VPS providers where OpenBSD will run, more or less
correctly, more or less all of the time, is actually very big. It
will even run correctly all of the time on a fairly large list of
providers.
However, the list of VPS providers who are willing to *support*
OpenBSD is extremely small.
What do you do if one day you're only getting 100kbps throughput?
Call support, who - as soon as they learn you're running OpenBSD -
tell you "that's not supported, sorry" and hang up. When ACPI goes
haywire (normal under KVM so far)... same thing. Not naming names,
And your bug report for this is ... where?
-ml
The last time I filed a bugreport on OpenBSD in a virtualized
environment, I got flamed for not running it on real hardware. Haven't
bothered since. However, that was a few years ago, and the ACPI
shutdown issue is a big enough PITA that I'll file again soon.
Difficult to debug, though, since the all I/O except wscons just freezes
upon receipt of the ACPI signal.
