George, I've not run FreeBSD but have used NetBSD as a server sandbox.
My gut feel for the success of Linux is not purely in technical merit
but that Linux has more brain share.
When I was playing with NetBSD on Sparc it was zippy fast and the OS
install was very small. NetBSD is also used as *the* example of clean
coding; they try and keep things as architecture portable as possible.
If I were doing a desktop, though, definitely Linux. Any of the BSD
versions seems to be a few years behind. Maybe the FreeBSD desktop
people got jobs at Apple? :)
