You are probably right.

I deal mostly with Slackware (even at work), which is very BSDish, so maybe
I am biased. When I last tried FreeBSD the install procedure and
default(ish) programs in it brought me memories of Linux. Meanwhile,
OpenBSD ships with its own structure and quirks (OpenSMTPD instead of
postfix or exim , wxallow filesystems by default, no PAM, you get the
idea). NetBSD install procedure is so RTFM that the whole thing feels like
a high tech dinossaur.

Or maybe I should stop doing bourbon.
