| As my growing needs require stronger hardware, it was finally time
| to rent a new server. I do not intend to run FreeBSD on it. Although
| the most obvious choice would be OpenBSD (I run it on another server
| and it works just fine), I plan to have a couple of databases
| running on the new machine, and database throughput has never been
| one of OpenBSD's strong points. This is my chance to give illumos
| another try. As neither WiFi nor desktop environments are relevant
| on a no-X11 server, the server-focused OmniOS seemed to fit my
| needs.

BTW thank you to Andy Fiddaman and all contributors for r151026.
Keep up the great work!
