Although my view on which BSD is best is rather preliminary, I lean toward
NetBSD.  NetBSD and OpenBSD seem easier to install than FreeBSD.  FreeBSD
installer hung for me at the point of probing hardware devices, I think the
last one I tried was 4.7rc2.  I only downloaded the boot diskette images and
disk-writing program for DOS, rather than spend money on something that was 
not going to install.  So now I might download boot diskette images for 5.0,
no going back to 4.x.
