Which BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.) do you use and why do you use it? I am hoping for a discussion around the operating system's source code quality, documentation, and community around these BSDs in this thread. |

1) it's the most secure operating system available, under any license agreement. 2) their community is the quickest to respond to resolving security issues (see this year's Defcon talk about BSD vulnerabilities - OpenBSD is at present the only one to have resolved all open issues and it took only a couple of weeks) 3) the community writes the best tools. 4) it has the best documentation I've seen for a project this large, similar, but superior to the Arch Wiki.
