OBSD is the best choice of OS for people who like violent little fish
mascots.
And it has blue-boot-console-thingy (tm) . Ace.
I wasn't going to contribute to this thread, but I have to ask. *What*
blue-boot-console-thingy?
I'm not sure it's sensible to do direct comparisons of
NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD. At first glance the maxim of 'OpenBSD is more
secure, NetBSD is more portable, FreeBSD has better support' applies,
however OpenBSD has some platform support that NetBSD does not and NetBSD,
for a Unix that on first glance looks a bit hardcore, has quite a large
amount of functionality and seems quite willing to experiment with new
features. FreeBSD is sometimes promoted as being mostly i386 based, but
supports a number of platforms.
There's the cultural and administrative differences, too. Custom kernels are
pretty much anathema to OpenBSD, encouraged on NetBSD and generally handled
by modules on FreeBSD..
