Hallo All,

Can somebody explain to me in plain english what the difference (and strengths, weaknesses...) are between these flavours of BSD?

OpenBSD = security. just about everything is turned off by default so you have to know your stuff to make it useful.

FreeBSD = software availability, the infamous enormous ports collection.

NetBSD = runs on just about everything. and I mean everything
