Hi Folks
I'm using OpenBSD in my home and laptops machines from severals years
ago, from 2.8 release.
But I have never used this in a production environment, today I have
the need to mount mail services / web / dns.
I need ideas, comments, regarding the performance of OpenBSD in a
production environment. Advantages, disadvantages and because I use
OpenBSD.
Perhaps the answers I know, but would listen.
Greetings.

What exactly are you trying to run?
I have been using an OpenBSD server for years, but with a low load.
I run httpd, mod_perl, mod_gzip, sendmail, dovecot, postgreSQL and
mysql, plus spamd and a variety of my own local scripts.
(Actually I just moved my mysql database over to PostgreSQL, so I am
dropping using mysql).
I have had no serious problems except once when I updated to a newer
-current that required me to manually use ports to get in sync with a
change not yet in packages.
However I got a lot of help with that and I could easily do it myself
now. I doubt that happens very often though.
As always, some unusual set ups are better served by non OpenBSD
servers, but not many.
I can basically leave my server alone now, except for dealing with
Apache access log now and then. Updating has now become very easy!
