[altq:1791] Re: newbie: openbsd3.2 on vmware: errorwith fifo and priq

[Tom Gerrard <tom.gerrard@salfordsoftware.co.uk>]

hi Sundar,

I would not try to use OpenBSD on vmware for testing network
configurations.  I struggled for a long time thinking my pf and altq
config files were wrong, in fact when they were copied to a real machine
they worked correctly.

Having said that I do use OpenBSD on vmware for compiling patches, etc.
and that works very well, and is especially useful as you can roll back
the disk if something does not work correctly.
