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 HAND Morten PS: I've just had to unsubscribe from this list, couldn't cope with the volume. :-( If you absolutely wanna talk to me CC me directly. -- lynx -source http://home1.stofanet.dk/liebach/pgpkey.html | gpg --import - UNIX, reach out and grep someone!
