Linux has more apps, better packaging.
Linux has built-in support for the PS/2 mouse.
I use FreeBSD for my work, its code is license free, its the standard for TCP
networking code.
At home its Linux, at work its FreeBSD, I also use AIX. It gets a little
confusing sometimes, documentation is important.
