FreeBSD A rather ambitious new FreeBSD-derived distribution called BSD-HALO is currently in the planning and proof of concept stages. Amongst other things, one of the biggest goals is to attempt to produce a virus, malware, and exploit resistant environment. UI will also be a major design factor, and some pre-alpha screenshots can be viewed on the site as well.

There are FreeBSD forks but there is still a main FreeBSD in which they derive from and plus try naming the "distros" of linux and FreeBSD
FreeBSD NetBSD (from NetBSD is OpenBSD) PC-BSD DragonFly BSD GoBSD BSD-HALO
I would say Darwin but its very much based on Mach too

Peanut Linux, arch linux, ASPLinux, BrlSpeak, ClarkConnect, CollegeLinux, Connectiva, Debian, DEM Linux, elx, EnGuard, Fedora, Gentoo, Gibraltar, icepack linux, IMMUNIX, JBLINUX, K-12 Linux, KNOPPIX, Libranet, linex, LinuxPPC, Lycoris, Mandrake Linux, PLD, RedHat, Rock Linux, slackware linux, SmoothWall, Server Optimized linux, Sorcerer, turbolinux, UnitedLinux, TSL, Yellow Dog, Vector linux
I'm sure the list goes on (list from linuxiso.org)

NOTE I did not say there was a main linux they derive from because linux is just a kernel while FreeBSD is an entire operating system - somtimes I think people forget that.

I agree with you. FreeBSD have a few forks.. even DragonFly is the most important of then still having a lot of FreeBSD-code inside.
