I thought that was FreedBSD that actually had the fastest networking. NetBSD is noted for having the broadest range of supported platforms - great pains are taken to make NetBSD as portable as possible. >OpenBSD ships with a reasonably secure default, Quite frankly, this is pure marketing BS, it is no more or less secure "out of the box" than NetBSD or (I suspect) FreeBSD. Open's code may have been looked at somewhat but that is no panacea - there have still been security problems with OpenBSD, problems that have not been in NetBSD. I strongly believe that all the open source operating systems take security very seriously and for one to stridently claim they are more secure is specious. > >Firewalling is like car buying, there are good choices for what you want >to do, and poor choices for what you want to do.
