The OpenBSD group is scheduled to release version 2.5 of their super-secure multi-platform OS on May 19. Finally, those boys over at FreeBSD are scheduled to release version 3.2 of their i386 optimized OS on or around May 15. Lots of rumblings in the BSD world! "

  1. Re:I want to try BSD .. but which one? by Void · · Score: 5

    Basicly, the difference is this:

    - FreeBSD is the fastest (you can argue about this, but it is that way 85% of the time), and has better Hard and Software support (running WordPerfect or Doom or Quake (even the beta 3) for Linux is no prob ...

    - NetBSD runs on a lot of different platforms

    - OpenBSD has more encryption/security options ...

    I would recommend FreeBSD in your case ...
