I'm glad to finnaly see some FreeBSD coverage here on sloashdot!
The reason i use FreeBSD as my main os is simple: it's very straightforward with it's directory structure and kernel configuration. I've never been too hot for sysV based unix (ie- RH linux) but i do support all and any open source/free os.
Besides from my experience FreeBSd has been rock solid... and can emulate linux on the kernel level... so there is really no need to wait for true port to FreeBSD. It gives me the best of both wolrds.
On a side note kudos to whom ever said we shouldn't start an os war bestween free unix. we are all against the same enemy. microsoft.

If we start calling linux gnu/linux then won't we also have to call freebsd gnu/freebsd? this is getting pretty egotistical of rms.
It's actually nice to see an OS *not* being rushed
to "market" full of bugs...
Mac OS X is already built on top of a BSD kernel.
Personally... i don't like linux very much, so i'm glad apple is going with BSD.
