They share a common ancestry and the teams tend to look at the good bits produced by the others from time to time, so with a bit of luck it is possible you could take your /home partition with you from one to the other. Neither system comes with any warranties in this case though, so before doing anything rash with any disk which contains data you actually need to keep around, do at least one backup which you verify elsewhere. I haven't tried anything like this myself since the OpenBSD 3.7ish and early FreeBSD 5.mumble days myself, so caution is advised. The experiment of moving a /home from OpenBSD to FreeBSD back then did work, though. -- Peter N. M.
