Well, your notion is not 100% correct. There are indeed different teams for the development of FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD but they are extremely friendly and toleant towards each other and often share lot of code and modules. For example, NetBSD and FreeBSD share the same USB subsystem. As far as my understanding goes, each of the different flavours of BSD are developed with a particular viewset in mind. For example, NetBSD is built no to squeeze out the last drop of juice from the hardware. Instead it is designed to be highly portable and literally run on anything you throw at it. Similarly OpenBSD developers prefers more to swear by security than anything else. They are entirely different projects although not entirely independent. > > At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working in > the same issues.

Well there are quite a few things which are mutually exclusive in nature. In those cases you need to have tradeoffs. Regards, S.
