FreeBSD vs. NetBSD vs. OpenBSD
 

Hello,
I was looking into installing SunOS 10, but it doesn't look like my computer that I was going to install it on was fast enough. Can anyone tell me what the big differences between FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are? Which one would you choose over the other and why. Any input is thanked.

Thanks,
Derek

I would choose freebsd. I am using freebsd. It is more popular(i guess). That is just a guess, dont flame me.

/me grabs the flamethrower!

Just kidding :) Yes, it's probably a safe statement to say that FreeBSD has the largest install base. It's (generally) the easiest to install third party software on (or, has the most ports), which probably has a lot to do with it.

This is where having the ability to post an image would be so use full... sigh..
