I'm bringing up a Pentium box with OpenBSD 2.0 right now. I've got the base system installed and minimal network support operating fine. OpenBSD was recommended because of the security stance "out of the box". My question is about binary application (read: commercial) support...i haven't found docs yet that say anything about binary compatibility features for the other *BSD flavors; I have seen a few comments about BSDI Netscape and the like working OK. Have I just not figured out where TFM is yet? All I've really seen is the INSTALL.i386 doc. Are there equivalents to the Linux HOWTOs? In particular, I need Stronghold to run on the box. Anyone done so with OpenBSD? If so, which binary set? Thanks. -- David Carmean <dlc@avtel.net> Avtel Communications, Santa Barbara, CA +1-805-730-7740 Opinions herein are those of the author only, unless otherwise noted
