Personally, I've got about half a year of experince in both. I run OpenBSD as a firewall with IPSec tunnelling at work, and FreeBSD as a desktop at home. I can't say it's huge, but it is something ;-) > Right, except Linux isn't BSD, and vice versa- there's no way > to just plug-and-play the kernels.

Suppose someone would want to run Debian/NetBSD on the whole range of platforms the kernel runs at :) > But for things like my SBLive, it's FreeBSD or bust. Until someone > ports newpcm to NetBSD...
