How close is FreeBSD to OpenBSD?

Hello, and thank you,

I just bought the three-part $80.00 FreeBSD package and am studying it
over several installs on a 266 Mhz P2 unit. It's very nice, and
surprisingly quick. I bought it to handle my web, dns and mail servers.
So far, it seems I bought well.

My background is in Redhat Linux and Windows, so please pardon the
"dumb" question: How close are FreeBSD and OpenBSD?

The reason I ask is to get a handle on how useful OpenBSD tips, FAQ's,
etc. might be as I learn FreeBSD.

Happy computing,
