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. ;-)
