The words you chose from the subject to the bottom of your e-mail, were 
the wrong ones "Open Vs Free BSD" for me, and for most here, is 
literally OpenBSD versus FreeBSD. The answer is: There is winner. The 
reason I started using OpenBSD is a very personal one, and it generally 
is for most of us here. Even in business the decisions are often made 
with the heart. So, you've got to try. I would never use OpenBSD in my 
laptop, because it doesn't do everything i need on my laptop. The same 
way i would never use ubuntu on my firewall, because it won't do neither.

My 2 cents,
