I'd expected a more level headed reply from this FreeBSD list. How is
a newbie supposed to know the differenced and how can I test this if I
don't have a spare machine?

My question was more out of interest. This mailing list is called
FreeBSD-Questions, so why can't I asked a reasonable question and
expect a reasonable reply...?

Can anybody please explain to my what the differences are between
nanobsd, picobsd and tinybsd.

They all seem to be doing the same (creating a minimal FreeBSD image
that can be used in embedded systems), or is this not right?
What don't you experiment with them, and see? :)

Please read the explanations on each page. You'll find that they differ as follows:

http://www.tinybsd.org/tinybsd -- TinyBSD (I emphasize the words "tools", "scripts", "development", and "dynamically linked").

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/nanobsd/index.html -- nanobsd (sounds like a complete, read-only system).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PicoBSD -- picobsd (obsolete; replaced by nanobsd according to the Wiki page).
