Yeah, quite hard to get third party apps to them, but those systems are simply running with superb performance and needs much more lower maintenance than Linux. So it depends. It can be fine to be able to patch every day some new security/bug issue or to install every possible app developed, but that's something mostly not wanted in setups where are these systems used. OpenBSD is much more closer to them in this regard I think which is big plus. > > Regards, > > Jake
