When it comes to the BSDs, here is my impressions of them:

  NetBSD wants to run everywhere.
  OpenBSD wants to be secure.
  DragonFly BSD wants to advanced.
  FreeBSD wants to be Linux.
  TrueOS wants to be Ubuntu.
(I don't list MacOS because I don't feel that it is a true BSD.)

Beware that this sort of grouping is as superficial and wrong as categorizing people into blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

In truth, they all aim to be portable, advanced, and secure, with desktop and server support. And there is plenty of sharing from each to the others. The differences amongst them are, in reality, not so easily pigeonholed.
