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 :)
