Re: vultr

Hi,

I have two systems with Vultr (Sydney and Tokyo) and find them to be fine. True the default install using the automated Vultr 6.3/6.4 install will create two partitions and swap. I have installed one of my OpenBSD system using a custom install ISO OpenBSD 6.4 and with that I can do it whatever I like and partition the system as I see fit.

Good for a general purpose machine, but not so great if you have a specific task in mind. They also tend to install all the sets.

Usually so I can get a good partitioning scheme set up (256m on /, /home, /tmp, /usr/local, /var and swap; with a 1g /usr and swap) so I can dedicate 15g (Or more) to a partition for whatever task the machine was built for.
