FreeBSD or OpenBSD???

Thank you both auswipe and dercarcort for your feedback.
Although I will eventually be focusing on security issues down the road (one of my long term career paths), my general intentions at the present are to set up a server/desktop running nix and then install apache. I am leaning much more towards FreeBSD currently. One of the reasons for this decision, as both of you have pointed out, is the abundant amount of info available at www.freebsd.org. <rolling up me sleeves and getting ready for the work>
