FreeBSD versus OpenBSD...?
by rhimbo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53W9A)
Hello folks,
Is there a good summary of the differences between FreeBSD and OpenBSD? If not, could someone give me a synopsis here?
I'm looking for a distro to use as my primary work and personal system. I am trying to avoid tinkering and would prefer something "that just works." From reading the OpenBSD web site, it sounds as if it's more oriented towards use on servers, in data centers, etc.... strong security, robust, well-written code, etc.
But I also need a good desktop.
Thanks,
