The answer is: There is winner. The reason I started using OpenBSD is a very personal one, and it generally is for most of us here. Even in business the decisions are often made with the heart. So, you've got to try. I would never use OpenBSD in my laptop, because it doesn't do everything i need on my laptop. The same way i would never use ubuntu on my firewall, because it won't do neither.
