A better idea might be to look at the hardware support of the individual systems first. Not much use to chose one, only to find out that it doesn't run on the hardware in question (for example, FreeBSD has problems on my notebook where NetBSD runs more or less ok'ish, but NetBSD won't even boot on another machine on which FreeBSD runs very well. I guess issues like that hold for OpenBSD aswell.) -- Matthias Buelow; mkb@{mukappabeta,informatik.uni-wuerzburg}.de
