Here is my take on the 3 BSDs:

FreeBSD - Optimized version for x86 architecture.  Built for an ease-of-use 
workstation, but could be turned into a great server.

NetBSD - Kinda' like the Linux folks . . . trying to port their OS to every 
platform on the planet.

OpenBSD - The screws were tightened for security.  This is more for server use 
than a convenient workstation, but could be used for either.

Of course, I am not a BSD expert, so please don't ask me to explain any of 
this. ;-)
