What about other BSDs?

Hello all: My first post will also most likely be my last thread (at least, until it becomes an easier to install OS) ;-). I'm looking to experiment with the OS on my YellowDogLinux 3.0.1 file server (Beige G3/266 128 MB RAM 80 GB HD). At first I thought I'd just install Darwin and use that as my server OS since, well, Darwin is more-or-less OS X without the GUI and a few other services not vital to a server. After having investigated the OpenDarwin site It seems that neither OpenDarwin nor Darwin are suitable for my purposes (I'm no *nix expert). So, my question to you all is: is it worth experimenting with one of the other BSD variants as a (predominately) server OS, or should I stick with YDL 3.0.1 if it works for me? I'm not a great fan of fiddling with my machine... now that YDL 3 is working I'm moderately happy with it (although, I do need to change partition sizes and eliminate the Mac OS X partition that has only been booted natively _once_ and only a handfull of times under MOL (128 MB doesn't leave much room)). Sincerely, Eric
