While this will no doubt bore those looking for an accurate technical comparison, perhaps you can point it to individuals asking the newbie "what's the difference between OpenBSD and ..." question. Personally, I like the short, if a bit generalized description from Soren Kristensen for such purposes, found at the bottom of this page.

Sadly, there are places in OS/X Panther that are still unimplemented for common BSD features (getpeeruid() being a good example, but I was told it has been implemented in Tiger).
But I have to admit that OS/X has been one of the few UNIX desktops that I 've actually fallen in love with for use. Granted the code still needs to be gutted and cleaned up. =) But one can't get everything at once.

"Differentiating Among BSD Distros"....
There's no BSD distros,they are complete independent operating systems by them self, they just share roots and have some similarities but that's all.I think this article is nothing but crap.

True that! Just like you said, they're not distros. The kernels are different, the userland is somewhat different, and their goals are different.
They might have some things in common, but they're still different. I think people need to understand that.
Although, how would you classify them since they're not distros? I don't know, I tend to like calling them "BSD Flavors". Rocky Road and Vanilla might both be ice creams, but they're still very much different flavors. You know what I mean?
Some of you might consider the artile to be pointless, but I figure some good press is better than no press.
