The cacophony of voices in my head

OpenBSD is a more "full" UNIX, it has OpenSSH, sudo kerberos and such
installed in the base system.
OpenBSD uses blowfish to encrypt passwords, it doesn't have as big a
ports collection as FreeBSD.
OpenBSD have the best manpages I've ever seen, I love them.
I personally fell more comfortable using OpenBSD, but it's an unfair
comparison, I have used Free for 2 weeks, Open for nearly a year ...
OpenBSD is a rather small project compared to FreeBSD, and OpenBSD runs
on far more hardware platforms than FreeBSD, which may or may not be
important for you.
That's quite a difference.
Just my thoughts and opinions ... YMMV
