apologies for a general topic:

i am looking for sources of information comparing Linux vs
FreeBSD.  (and also for opinions from this group, if you want.)
strengths, weaknesses, reliability, available apps, etc.

i am not familiar with other BSDs -- NetBSD, 386BSD.  i would
be interested in these as well, although they would have to
be "free".  i am not sure if they are.

we are a small network: a few SCO and a few Linux systems.
any info would be appreciated.  thanks.
