for the longest time, the BSDs have been split as: FreeBSD - i386 rock solid NetBSD - work on as many platforms as possible OpenBSD - be as secure as possible There is alot of code sharing between them all though, so, IMHO, alot of it is personal preferences ... I've been using FreeBSD since '95, and other then having a habit of finding (and, usually pushing) its limits, I've been most happy with it ... ---- Marc G.
