OpenBsd question answered

[Ryan Ware <RWare@INTERPLASTIC.com>]

Openbsd is on Solaris.  You can find out about it on their site in FAQ.  I
thought it was weird when I first discovered netcraft too.  

8.18 - Why does www.openbsd.org run on Solaris?
Although none of the developers think it is particularly relevent, this
question comes up frequently enough in the mailling lists that it is
answered here. www.openbsd.org and the main OpenBSD ftp site are hosted at a
SunSITE at the University of Alberta, Canada. These sites are hosted on a
large Sun system, which has access to lots of storage space and Internet
bandwidth. The presence of the SunSITE gives the OpenBSD group access to
this bandwidth. This is why the main site runs here. Many of the OpenBSD
mirror sites run OpenBSD, but since they do not have guaranteed access to
this large amount of bandwidth, the group has chosen to run the main site at
the University of Alberta SunSITE.

Not sure if Netcraft is right but using OS fingerprinting in nmap, I got the
same results (OS only).
