Hmmm, well, I may have made some occasional/rare mention of openBSD,
as yes, I do have a VM
with openBSD installed on it.  Don't know that I'd (ever) made mention
of netBSD or freeBSD in
SF-LUG meeting context ... though perhaps (improbably?) freeBSD, as
Debian has had freeBSD
kernel offering(s), at least in past (Debian GNU/kfreeBSD ... Linux is
but a kernel after all, eh?)
Don't think I've ever run or tried netBSD or freeBSD at all, other
than perhaps slightly poking at
Debian GNU/kfreeBSD ... and yeah, peekin' at my VMs:
$ virsh list --all | fgrep -i bsd | fgrep -i -v openbsd
 -    kfreebsd                               shut off
$
Yeah, that's what that one would be.
