You didn't ask, but: if you ever use FreeBSD for a longer time, you'll never go back to Linux. At least not voluntarily :)
Many don't get that the Linux "distros" are often just that, distributions... of the same damn thing... they make some app bundling and packager choices but that's about it. Except for the commercial ventures like RedHat which do contribute sizeable raw development. Whereas the BSD's all picked something long ago and generally stick with it to this day, with blending across them... Open - secure, free Free - serving, all around utility, hardware, storage Dragon - clustering Net - platforms including your toaster
In the end you'll need to compare them yourself, features, policies, hardware support, security, whatever.
That's the key as always. Someone really needs to maintain a giant wiki table with this and the bsd's.
