Fair enough. I'd missed the Slackware part. I'll clarify my statement by
saying that the same functionality is available on pretty much any other
mainstream distro apart from Slackware :-)

FWIW, this is my only reservation about using OpenBSD in production
environments. I couldn't be happier with it in terms of getting a working
system. But its lack of package management is a real problem. Yes, I *do*
have the skills to compile up fixes myself when they're made. I don't,
however, have the time...
