Can you please help me? personally i think in this case "the best" is a personal thing, and it also depends on what you need to learn/serve/maintain etc. i've tried OpenBSD and NetBSD and it's not really my thing, i find FreeBSD easier to use and to maintain, i really like the straight-forward install, the ports and the possibility to have "jails" i prefer FreeBSD on my mailservers, do use Linux and FreeBSD on fileservers, have used FreeBSD on the desktop but prefer to use Linux on the desktop at the moment you should try them all for yourself if you have time for that! :) -- grtjs, albi gpg-key: lynx -dump http://scii.nl/~albi/gpg.asc | gpg --import
