The post screams TROLL, but I'll indulge: The Linux TCP/IP stack COUPLED with its stable support for multi-processor/cores has made it the ideal choice for x86-based >Gig-E networking equipment. Ask F5 networks, they've spent a few years migrating from a FreeBSD kernel to a Linux one for simply that reason: Throughput.
JUNOS is BSD based, and the reasons for that have been adequately explained by an earlier poster. If you think JUNOS today resembles the fbsd kernel in any way, speak to a development engineer in Juniper. "Better" is best defined by your environment and needs. OpenBSD is great for me as a SOHO firewall/router, I love it. Would I use it in an enterprise, possibly, as long resources who can maintain it are available? Would I make a business plan to use it in manufacturing networking equipment, no, I wouldn't, and don't ask me to get into the why's? I've been part of commercial ventures using these OSs, and have my personal and business experience form my opinion. Commercial development is way different from playing with a few machines in a sandbox. Try them all, and use what suits you best.
