OpenBSD works "well" as a diskless system (see diskless(8)). The value of "well" depends on your expectations. I don't run any of my OpenBSD systems with a graphical UI, for example, and I don't need super fast disk access to edit files or read my email. -- Andreas (Kusalananda) Kähäri SciLifeLab, NBIS, ICM Uppsala University, Sweden .
