FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD are based on 4.4BSD Lite.

Concerning questions of performance, FreeBSD is known as the most advanced
of those three OS. FreeBSD runs on Intel and Alpha hardware.

NetBSD is available for a lot of different hardware platforms; much more
than Linux runs on.

OpenBSD is known as the most secure open source OS. It's also available
for a lot of platforms, including Intel.
