Linux has wider, not better hardware support. If OpenBSD supports some hardware it simply works out of the box and is stable and rock solid.

I will research and research, and come to a point where I could choose Linux or BSD for example. I read about one thing, and another and it all already has real examples running Linux (the top 500). So I can re-invent the wheel for god knows how long, or use what works for the top 500, which seems to be Linux. Decision easily made. Now the top 501 super computers run Linux. Who is brave enough to not actively accept the wheel that is. I probably wouldn't, especially with the fact that I have * no insurance * that a non-Linux super computer can hold it's own in real world applicable problem solving. Theoretically one might get there, but the pragmatism is strong.
