Well, there's one OpenBSD and one NetBSD.
Off the top of my head, FreeBSD has begotten:
* DragonflyBSD
* m0n0wall
* PC-BSD
* GhostBSD
* NeXT BSD
From some cursory research, there are also:
*
MidnightBSD
* pfSense
* FreeSBIE
* DesktopBSD
Whether FreeNAS and NAS4Free count is open to interpretation.
There are others, too.
I have played with PC-BSD and GhostBSD, both of which I quite liked
but found too minimal for me compared to Linux. I thought MidnightBSD
was dead but apparently there's recently been a new release, which I
shall investigate.
