I know I did when I just built a firewall. My reason was multiprocessor support. While FreeBSD on SMP is gorgeous and intricate, under oBSD, it is non-existant until next version. Further, I am more used to FreeBSD and adminning OS's that you are less used to is generally a bad idea when setting up machines. The hardware support for FreeBSD is also decidedly more vast than that of oBSD and the performance of fBSD generally faster. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.
