OpenBSD was the operating system that ran Secure Dog Hosting, which was the "first hosting company to have its site run a complete calander month without a single request from any of our five performance monitoring machines failing."
Who says that OpenBSD is unreliable?"

Surely good routing happens with Linux?
What about those BeOS webservers out there - bet they don't get much traffic.
The point is that Obsd "won", which is an achievement, simply because, under the same conditions (globally) it did the business.

This is what the company in question had to say about their services (straight from: http://www.secdog.com/about.php)
" Secure Dog Hosting deploys a variety of platforms in the effort to afford our customers with choices that are not readily available with other hosting providers. We offer Linux, OpenBSD, Solaris, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 as our server platforms . We also offer co-location and dedicated servers for our clients that demand greater control and flexibility over their own environments. "
So, it's possible this has nothing to do with the OS used, and more to do with the routing and infrastructure provided by the company (as Netcraft points out).

blind stats and starting a parade over it is silly i think. there are probably alot of unknowns that arent out there, and grabbing a stat that just happens to be with openbsd and cheering seems foolish.
obviously they havent been big targets of attack, like we were today with multi hundred megabit flood coming from around the world and such.
i dont know about you, but i havent heard of that hosting place before, has anyone else? what is hosted on their network? anything big? i wonder...
all that glitters is not gold.

is there a point?

the netcraft stat is as meaningless in itself as the *openbsd_sucks_big_time* "benchmarks" two weeks ago. so what?
most of the people reading & posting here know that anyway.
