There are a million sites discussing this, it's a flamebait, and no one 
wants to have that start up, so what you are doing is being (possible 
innocently, but I wonder) very very impolite.

If you want to protect your reputation, drop "Linux vs. FreeBSD" as a 
subject right this minute.  Otherwise, depending on if you answer this, 
most of the world is going to put you on their kill list for email 
blocking.  You have been warned.

If you have a specific FreeBSD question though, trot it out, you'll be 
amazed how good the support is.
