Sun vs. OpenBSD?

An anonymous reader writes "CNet has an article up about OpenBSD trying to get documentation for Sun's UltraSparc-III processor. Basically Sun is giving them a bit of run around....There is some documentation available for the processor, but not enough to get things to boot."

Why OpenBSD at all? by gypsyx · 2002-12-05 07:41 · Score: 0, Flamebait

So my thoughts are... Well... Solaris is a great UNIX! It's much more complete (esp. Trusted Solaris) than OpenBSD. Why not just stick to the software that's supposed to run on Sun hardware? Running OpenBSD on Sun hardware is about as silly as running Linux with Afterstep on NeXT hardware. I have no idea why people would remove the good product from their good hardware to replace it with something inferior.
