Rehberg) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD and OpenBSD -- differences? Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've cut my teeth on all the free Unixes except OpenBSD. After using FreeBSD, I'm reluctant to move on since I've found that it's so much better than NetBSD and the Linuxes. Among those of you who have used OpenBSD, what qualities does it possess, besides cross-platform ports and self-proclaimed security hardening, that would make it any more or less viable than FreeBSD? I've read all the info about all of them, but am reluctant to try OpenBSD. Thanks, Kris PS...To try to avoid a flagrant idealism flame-war, I'm asking that you reply only if you've actually used OpenBSD. -- Kriston J.
