Has anybody installed/used OpenBSD? Or any other variation of BSD?
I'm installing OpenBSD as we speak (after swearing for about a half an hour).
Has anybody else used OpenBSD (or even Free/NetBSD?)
Yes I have tried OpenBSD while searching for a free OS I'd like, I don't recommend it unless you only do basic computer tasks, i.e: e-mail, newgroups, alt groups, browse the internet and etc, as I am assuming OpenBSD is more for work and networking use. I also found it a little hard to install and the commands are a bit different from the Linux kernel.

To be picky, Linux commands aren't part of the "kernel". The commands are either programs or Shell-specific commands.
I was gonna say, if you know your way around the shell then the commands aren't much different.
OpenBSD uses sh by default.
I tried it, and I don't like it to be honest. :/
Super update!
I was playing around with it today. I built a basic ISO with the base files.
I installed it and got to playing around with it.
I started installing packages.
Goddamn, one thing I have to say: This bitch is customizable. Secure as fuck too. I couldn't even transfer a file over SFTP to it. How sad is that? Heh.
I highly recommend this if you want a fun, extremely customizable server operating system.
One thing I didn't like is the three default shells: sh, csh, ksh. All three are garbage.
Luckily, I've got bash on it now. :)
I heart freebsd, I love it, like it was my own child.
