Most interestingly, after I moved from NetBSD to FreeBSD 
(performance-wise) on my Web cluster, I found that FreeBSD, being 
_faster_ than GNU/Linux, was not that much faster.

Being totally pissed off of FreeBSDs and NetBSDs opinion about 'free' 
software and selling themselves as cheap whores to companies (read: 
deploying BLOB) I moved (again) to OpenBSD (on _all_ machines, not just 
on the crucial ones like firewalls etc).

Surprise: Performance is on par. Security is much better. Karma is 
perfect :)
