for the longest time, the BSDs have been split as:
FreeBSD - i386 rock solid
NetBSD - work on as many platforms as possible
OpenBSD - be as secure as possible
There is alot of code sharing between them all though, so, IMHO, alot of
it is personal preferences ... I've been using FreeBSD since '95, and
other then having a habit of finding (and, usually pushing) its limits,
I've been most happy with it ...
