 From http://www.openbsd.org/ :
Our efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, proactive 
security and integrated cryptography.

 From http://www.FreeBSD.org/ :
FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility 
features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even 
some of the best commercial ones.... [more, see the site for details]

In my experience, OpenBSD focuses on providing a secure by default OS which 
has a very paranoid, minimalist feel.  FreeBSD focuses on providing 
cutting-edge features while maintaining a very stable, mature and robustly 
integrated core.

Try both, each has its place in my network.
