So I checked the 2 other main contenders and just wanted to ask if

FreeBSD 6.4 is a good choice ( I have not tested Open or Net BSD so
FreeBSD is my hometurf) The machine will probably be a server to have
fun with and hopefully learn something from. Perhaps some server role in
my rig, routing, security etc.....

Any advise would be nice :)

A few things you could consider:

- which OS seems to be the most active? I recall NetBSD was about a dead end a few years ago, but maybe they got back.

- which OS seems to offer you the best learning oportunity? If you're interested in security OpenBSD might be a choice.

... but then, why not try both, it's free.

Or consider something completely different? If I had to go BSD, and not FreeBSD, I'd go with OpenBSD for the security. But I'd much rather like to try a microkernel system like QNX if that would be an alternative.
