That's is one really big point especially for DFly but also the other BSD's, having a BSD's at over 150% is not a problem, with linux you try never go over 80-85% if you still want a responsive system. Same with near out of memory, linux handles that really poorly.
- kazen44 6y agoi once tried installing and running an openbsd system with 64mb of ram. It "worked" in the sense that the installation was able to finish, and i was able to run a static webpage on openbsd httpd. system load was through the roof, but the system was still r esponsive. I started running into issues once i wanted to do anything even slightly more advanced (like for instance, run PHP on a webpage).
