Подскажите, какие есть особенности при выборе железа с прицелом на запуск OpenBSD на нем? Но запуска - не только данной ОСи, а еще и GNU/Linux и MS Windows. Пока что особо интересуют процессоры.
На офф. сайте нашлось только это:
Spoiler
Current status:
It can be expected to install and run with minimal difficulty on most current hardware. Machines using custom BIOS (such as older proprietary PCs, laptops, and some specialized server machines) may cause problems.
X Window System support is available for most graphics cards, using the X.Org server. As with other free operating systems it is highly recommended that Nvidia cards are avoided since this vendor continues to show tremendous resistance towards releasing information that would allow X.Org to support their hardware properly.
Supported hardware:
Processors
All CPUs compatible with the Intel 80486 or better, with Intel-compatible hardware floating point support should work.
SMP support
OpenBSD/i386 supports most SMP (Symmetrical MultiProcessor) systems, including multi-chip, multi-core and/or hyperthreading designs. To support SMP operation, a separate SMP kernel (bsd.mp) is included with the installation file sets.
Unsupported Hardware:
New hardware is constantly being released, some of which may lack support. Your donation of time, hardware, or documentation can accelerate this support!

Про Нвидиа - понятно. А процессор, получается, я могу спокойно брать любой из i3 или i5 например?
Может таки какие-то процессоры считаются в проекте недостаточно безопасными или недостаточно надежными?
