   I think it's fair to say that OpenBSD falls under alternative OS. Anything   
   that isn't Ubuntu, Windows or MacOS corporate slop is alternative in my   
   book. What exactly are you runnig it on? Sounds very lucky that it   
   supports that hardware.   
      
   I've been considering using OpenBSD as a mail server. I can put anything   
   in my homeserver behind Crowdsec and Authelia and be pretty safe but you   
   cant WAF away a mailserver. So a small OpenBSD VM for just that purpose   
   might be a good option.   
      
   I've once long ago worked at a company that used FreeBSD for hosting a   
   very large scale website using c++. Very old school stack but it worked.
