I recall NetBSD was about a dead end a few years ago, but maybe they got back. - which OS seems to offer you the best learning oportunity? If you're interested in security OpenBSD might be a choice. ... but then, why not try both, it's free. Or consider something completely different? If I had to go BSD, and not FreeBSD, I'd go with OpenBSD for the security. But I'd much rather like to try a microkernel system like QNX if that would be an alternative.
