Would anybody be interested in esoteric hosting?

Think Linode, but specifically for FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Plan9/TempleOS/MinuetOS/etc.?

I want one where I can run Dragonfly. I'm using vultr at the moment but I had to do some manual stuff, I just want to choose Dragonfly like you choose ubuntu at digial ocean.

TempleOS has no networking :)

Which makes it that much cheaper to operate ;)

Presumably it has serial drivers though, yes?

Well, that's because an omniscient god is the lowest network layer!

I've been thinking about using DFlyBSD as a host platform for such things, given some of it's awesome networking/virtualization features.

It'd be great for a webhost or something where you choose the OS, but I don't think you could run FreeBSD or OpenBSD on top of it.
