Hi! I'm about to start setting up a small backup network for about five computers (not counting the backup server) -- four Solaris 2.6/7 boxes, and one NT4 box. I may later add in some Win2K boxes.
I am planning on taking an older (ie, spare) i386 box and adding a 20gig holding disk, and our (older) SCSI tape drive to it, and installing a *nix OS. My question is, should I go with Linux, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD. I don't really know enough about the dis/advantages of each to make an informed decision. Since I already have a linux server available, I am leaning towards one of the BSDs, as it will give me a different experience. Between the two, I hear that OpenBSD concerns itself more with security, while FreeBSD concerns itself more with either stability or performance (I don't know exactly which). Any suggestions / comments?
