Being late to the BSD party, I've only used NetBSD some many years
ago, and FreeBSD today (mostly for grins in a Vmware machine).

Other than those problems caused by Vmware, (vmware drivers for dynamic
resizing of desktop in the virtual machine) I found FreeBSD 7 (x86_64)
with KDE to be the best out of the box installation for browsing windows
networks (and samba) of any nix I've tried. Its utterly fast, faster
than windows itself, and and faster and way more reliable than OpenSuse 10.3
at this task.

Not that this is a major point, but it is interesting that this works
so well and Kubuntu and Opensuse have problems in this regard.
