Oh, I almost forgot about Slackware. Havn't used it since around 2000, I guess.

Yeah, but probably "old-school" Linux like Gentoo or Slackware,
not the "modern" stuff most distros ship today.

Retired my last OpenBSD system around 2005. I'm pretty much FreeBSD and
Linux these days.

I think I tried NetBSD only once on an old Sparc IPC station back in the
late 1990ies. Didn't work too well for me back then, as far as I can
remember I went to OpenBSD on that box quite quickly.
