I'm comparing them both myself .... certainly appears that OpenBSD is more pro-active in security related areas, firewalling is enabled by default instead of requiring a kernel compile, versions don't appear to change as often, apache / sudo / OpenSSH are included in the default install, however its instal process is quite user-hostile by comparison with FreeBSD. I've read that the "trick" is to run the FreeBSD disklabel utility, then install OpenBSD. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nikolay N.
