Oh, I almost forgot about Slackware. Havn't used it since around 2000, I guess.

Yeah, but probably "old-school" Linux like Gentoo or Slackware, not the 
"modern" stuff most distros ship today.

Retired my last OpenBSD system around 2005. I'm pretty much FreeBSD and Linux 
these days.

I think I tried NetBSD only once on an old Sparc IPC station back in the late 
1990ies. Didn't work too well for me back then, as far as I can remember I went 
to OpenBSD on that box quite quickly.
