All BSD systems are based on the common BSD-4.4-Lite code, so there is a huge amount in common between them. But there are some differences in focus. FreeBSD works for easy installation and rock solid stability. OpenBSD focuses heavily on security. NetBSD focuses on broad support on a variety of platforms. I use FreeBSD and am very happy with it, but any of the BSD systems will provide solid, reliable platforms for servers or the desktop. (There used to be a comparison of the BSDs at http://www.bsd.org, but the author pulled it since he is now a FreeBSD developer and felt he did not have current references for the other systems.) R.
