FreeBSD. Why? Because it owns!

i never used these two... i have an older friend who works in a bank and maintains servers with both, freebsd and openbsd... as i remember he didnt mention any big differences.. i do remember he said they are both quite stable though...

I don't worked on OpenBSD only tryed a FreeBSD so that's why i'm choosing a FreeBSD and i think FreeBSD is more popular so that means it's better than OpenBSD. ^^

popular != better

Look at Windows, for instance.

Anyway, I haven't tried OpenBSD, but I hear it is one of the most secure OS out there. I also like their themed fish. Laughing

The bandwagon approach, eh? :p

OpenBSD is very cool if you're into security. I mean, W^X? How cool is that? Very Happy

For security I prefer NetBSD. For me it's the best *BSD OS. Also it is good for router and server. Why the poll didn't has it ?

It is secure only with default configuration (there was no1 security problem). But default configuration ... hm. It includes .. nothing. Only secure shell and base system. All other soft u'll install brings such security problems like Net- and FreeBSD. ))) So i prefer FreeBSD.

I personally would like to see a good debate about these two. I've only used FreeBSD and not for very long because I couldn't figure anything out. I couldn't get online with it otherwise I would have been able to push myself to learn. Think I was lazy but I would like to try again.

Hopefully this thread will sway me towards the better of the two, or... as these things usually turn out, the one that would fit my needs most.
