Gustavo, it probably didn't occur to you that you are more qualified
than anyone to answer this question. As you say, no OS is perfect, and
OpenBSD has a different focus than FreeBSD, even though the systems
remain similar.
I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say about the
two systems in comparison. Reports of reliability, load handling, etc.
will be greatly appreciated.
It might even make a great article for Daemon News or SysAdmin magazine.
