I am about to install my first freeBSD installation on my pc but I
am puzzled by seeing other "free" bsd OS's around... for instance, there
is the NetBSD and the OpenBSD... and there is the 4.4 BSD Lite... 
Who knows what else is there.  Can you explain to me the difference
between them (not the tedious technical details though) and
are they in fact very closely related???  Which one is the best to get
and what are the strengths??

Thanks..

John
