    Probably a troll but:

    Linux and BSD are both just *nix.
    *nix is *nix is *nix. Crappy ACL-type security (as opposed to Capability Systems security [EROS, for example]).

    Performance differences are negligable. The areas where BSD and Linux do differ, usually the Linux way is better known around. The Stack is ripped off in closed source OS's because Linux doesn't use a license that supports Closed Source distributers.

    In hardware support, Linux probably beats BSD, but I haven't followed it much.

    Also, Linux has a native Debian distribution, and many others, while BSD has second-hand ports of such and its native distributions are in many oppinions far worse.
