I just read this article:

(found the link in the news section of the latest daemonnews issue)

Jason Downs, an OpenBSD developer writes:
"Open-BSD's focus is on security, FreeBSD's goal is to be easier to
use and to have better performance, while NetBSD is mostly an academic
research platform".

Well, I'm not really happy about the last part since (IMHO) it impies
that NetBSD isn't designed or used for "Real Work"(TM)... :-/.
