I'd like to interject a few opinions into this FreeBSD vs Linux discussion.
First, there is no thing that says that one or the other must "win". Both
OSs have their strong points. IMHO, FreeBSD seems to be more stable and
reliable. Linux seems to have newer software and more support. But that is
just my opinion.
Just because I run FreeBSD doesn't mean that Linux must die. I believe that
the FreeBSD and Linux people can work together on some projects (such as
WINE) and improve both OSs and the image of free software in general.
