FreeBSD concentrates on the i386 and alpha platforms and is the only one =

the three with SMP support (I think), which presumably makes it better fo=

high-end servers. NetBSD and OpenBSD both concentrate on making the OS=20
portable to many different architectures, with OpenBSD also emphasising=20
security and encryption tools. FreeBSD has the largest ports collection o=
f=20
the three, with NetBSD quite close behind and OpenBSD a long way off. Whi=

one to use basically comes down to personal preference (unless one of the=
m=20
has some killer feature) so you can basically try all three or pick one a=
