At the risk of starting a flame war...

What exacrtly are the differences with FreeBSD and NetBSD...I want to put
*BSD on my 486/66 but am confused as to which one to use.  Can someone please
tell me the differences...ie, which is better and why in their opinion...

I will be using the system for learning C, kernel hacking, advanced UNIX, and
any other goodies I decide to do...
