To freeBSD or not freeBSD

Hello freebsd-newbies,
I'm wondering why you picked freeBSD over other distros. I'm
getting ready to build my first Linux box and I admit, I have not fully
researched all the options yet, but am looking at freeBSD on the
recommendation of, well, my son. I take him seriously as he is
already running linux (though not freeBSD as yet - that's his and
my upcoming project), he and his friends are no slouches at this stuff, typical techie teenagers, and have the time to
do such things. I have less. However, I'm interested in what the
actual user community has to say.
I get the impression there is significant support available, apps and drivers are available and configurable
and it's not a nightmare to run. But that's just an impression and
I haven't compared it enough with anything else.
So if anyone cares to venture a point of view, I'd be interested to
hear it. Thanks! :)
