BSD's (how many houndred are there BTW?)

Actually, as far as I am aware there are only 7, and of those only 3 are major contenders: FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. If you read the news, you'll have heard that the only commercial BSD, BSD/OS, was just discontinued. The remaining 3 are just alternate distributions of the 3 major BSD's, and one of those (PicoBSD) seems to be dead. This leaves us with 3 actively developed major BSDs (Free, Net, and Open), and 2 actively developed minor BSDs (Mir and Dragonfly).
