All simply rocks...be xBSD... be Linux, be *nix... whatever.. Just use the
right tool for a specific need... We are running Free, Open and Net....and
some decent Linux such as Debian, Red Hat among others...Love all of them...

The words you chose from the subject to the bottom of your e-mail, were 
the wrong ones "Open Vs Free BSD" for me, and for most here, is 
literally OpenBSD versus FreeBSD. The answer is: There is winner. The 
reason I started using OpenBSD is a very personal one, and it generally 
is for most of us here. Even in business the decisions are often made 
with the heart. So, you've got to try. I would never use OpenBSD in my 
laptop, because it doesn't do everything i need on my laptop. The same 
way i would never use ubuntu on my firewall, because it won't do neither.

My 2 cents,
