    OpenBSD is more security-oriented. FreeBSD is more mainstream.

    FreeBSD is designed to be more 'user friendly' though what does that actually mean when you are talking about BSD now? Is FreeBSD user friendly in terms of Mandrake, eh I'd probably have to say no, is it user friendly in terms of Solaris x86, what isn't ?

    This is a discussion that would probably be better suited to a religious forum.

    The true origins of Red Hat

    And yea, Red Hat Linux will lie with the Plagiarist of Europe, and begat Mandrake Linux, and Father and Son will continue to begat each other for all eternity.

    This is the word of Tor Valds.
