It's not fair to compare the two. I love OpenBSD for use cases where I care about correctness, stability, security even at the cost of performance or the having the latest feature set. Firewall, DNS, HTTPD and the like.

However, when it comes to running scientific applications and squeezing out last bits of performance or servers where people expect stuff to "just work, and if doesn't do apt-get blah", it's Linux that takes the cake.

FreeBSD and ZFS - the best I've worked with for Network Attached Storage. Can't believe it is just free.

Do you have a preferred recipe for FreeBSD/ZFS NAS? Is it FreeNAS?

I don't use FreeNAS. I run FreeBSD and ZFS myself.
