Well, from what I understand, FreeBSD's VM system is by far the most robust of the three. IIRC, FreeBSD and NetBSD both branched out of 386BSD, and OpenBSD branched out of NetBSD. Also, I've heard that OpenBSD is a bit stabler and 'better' than NetBSD. Open/Net also run on far more platforms than FreeBSD, which is really just x86. I obviously believe FreeBSD is the best overall of the three, or I'd be running one of the others, and be on that list. ;-) I don't know any of this for certain, but I seem to remember it from various test results and previous discussions. Then again, I'm half asleep, so don't kill me if it's wrong. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
