Of course OpenBSD sucks in that it doesn't
support
multiprocessor systems!
That's why you go with NetBSD.
Well...maybe. The SMP support in NetBSD is still pretty new, and still
lives in an "experimental" CVS branch. While the latest snapshot kernel
seems pretty reliable (./build.sh -j 2 works at least twice in a row :-),
it's probably not a good thing for production use just yet. YMMV.
Other than that, NetBSD is awfully useful.
Well, I can see that NetBSD won't be running on my main system
any time soon, since I have two CPUs. I'm surprised to hear
that NetBSD is just now supporting SMP as I thought that would
have been supported already.
