    Just out of curiosity, who considers NetBSD to be the "cleanest" of the BSDs, and why? I'm not trolling, just wondering---I don't think I've ever heard that (specifically). CDJ

      I've always considered OpenBSD to be the cleanest. It has resisted major change but has been code-audited much more than NetBSD.

      I dont know about portability but OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD, and has been changed less since and audited more.

      But if you mean 'original' by clean, the earlier versions of either would be cleaner.
