   You are probably right.   
      
   I deal mostly with Slackware (even at work), which is very BSDish, so maybe I   
   am biased. When I last tried FreeBSD the install procedure and default(ish)   
   programs in it brought me memories of Linux. Meanwhile, OpenBSD ships with its   
   own structure and quirks (OpenSMTPD instead of postfix or exim , wxallow   
   filesystems by default, no PAM, you get the idea). NetBSD install procedure is   
   so RTFM that the whole thing feels like a high tech dinossaur.   
      
   Or maybe I should stop doing bourbon.
