Greetings All, I've used OpenBSD in the past to build redundant routers and firewalls and it was fantastic, but it's been quite a few years since I've played with it. I've also never used it as my default workstation. Yet.
I've always used Debian GNU/Linux on my workstations in the past, but with jessie/sid (and practically all other linux distros) the direction the linux userspace has taken is a serious turn for the worst IMO. I am simply philosophically at odds with systemd, and I would like to stop relying on linux altogether if possible. My problem is I have specific needs, and it's not clear if I can meet them running OpenBSD. I'm hoping I can, and someone can share their experiences with making a similar setup work. Firstly, I'm running an i7 960 with a PCI-e ATI Radeon 7850 in a three monitor configuration (2 direct DVI and 1 active HDMI-to-DVI dongle) using the OpenSource Radeon linux driver @1920x1200 on each monitor. I'm using enlightenment 17.6 as my window manager. I use and rely on blender <http://www.blender.org> a /lot/ with hardware accelerated OpenGL, and having three monitors is important for my graphics work. Is anyone running OpenBSD with three monitors? With blender, hw-accel OpenGL, and/or E1{7,8,9}? Your thoughts, knowledge, and possibly links to more info would be very greatly appreciated. Thank You. -- -C
