Seems to me Net and Open are remarkably similar- relatively simple implementations with an eye to traditional Unix and standards. OpenBSD is more conservative, in the name of security, at the cost of “neat things”. Seems to me they eschewed MP kernels for ages on that basis, and won’t ever have (eg) PAM for authentication. Make of it what you will. In the meantime, enjoy OpenBSD!

- bch 6y agoYou’re right on both counts. But to throw a wrinkle in this, DragonFlyBSD was forked from FreeBSD 4 more recently than Open from Net, and is quite a remarkably different beast; it doesn’t necessarily follow they need to be remarkably similar.
