Dear Friends,

I am currently starting my very own hosting business,
as I'm horribly tired of all the incompetence in the
field. Obviously I take security seriously, and therefore
will be using OpenBSD exclusively.

One thing is bothering me though. I've searched the web
and the archives trying to clarify one single point, but
to no avail. I hope you friendly folks would help me.

I want to host my customers websites, but I'm unclear
how OpenBSD web scripting languages support works. I know
for a fact that the base system includes perl, so hosting
perl websites should work without issues. That is good because
many of my customers will be using domains such as domain.pl
I also see Mono is part of the ports, so domain.net should
also work without issue.

The one thing I'm unclear about is example.com domains.
How can I get OpenBSD to run .com files? I found that these
are actualy very old DOS binaries. How do other OpenBSD folks
manage them? Is it with Wine? Qemu running a stripped down XP?

Of course I could write a very good .COM wrapper for ELF I guess,
but I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so if a solution already
exists, I better use it.

So, what is this solution? Or maybe OpenBSD is not compatible yet
with .COM web applications?

PS: by the way, I am ready to offer the OpenBSD project a very good
discount, so maybe it's a good idea to move all the hosting of the
project to my new company once I've ironed out the few remaining 
details.
Service will be very good, high bandwidth and very modern, being 
IPv6 only
(it's the new version of DHCP and DNS with more addresses for your 
machines),
so very future-proof. Just contact me if you need more information.

Thanks,
bsdmaster

bsdmaster:

Use a very small software wrapper, something really micro in size (micro-soft).

You certainly are a master baiter :)

I have been successfully trolled, I honestly believe this was written
sincerely by someone stupid enough to believe these things.

Well, FreeBSD has jails and MAC, so I'd reconsider your platform choice
if you say that security is the top priority. China adopted FreeBSD
presumably because of its security benefits. Wether the simplicity
weighs against this or not, is up to the site's peculiarities. In my

The last string is the tld (top-level domain) and has nothing to do with
the interpeter used by your site's scripts; e.g., ".pl" is supposed to
represent domains hosted for/from Poland, whereas ".com" domains are

This is a good one again. Thanks!

Yeah!  even fwd it to a couple of buddies not on the list.  Surely
much more important things to talk about like why NFS is so fucking
slow on openbsd?

It's a good thing we have people like you making a stand against
incompetent web hosting companies.

This list is getting funnier every day.  Good one :-)
