Someone not like OpenBSD ????

Other than lack of SMP support, I've had good luck with OpenBSD

my Irix learning experience soon (restoring an Indy, and on a
Indigo 2 R10K Impact I just aquired).

Hope somebody does though, as I'm all for OpenBSD supporting more
platforms (which they'd revive PMAX, but I gather there is not enough
interest in keeping the port alive).
