Linux vs FreeBSD stability

Why FreeBSD

Linux 2.4 is not rock stable OS. It can be easily crashed by just a
forkbomb. I do not use 2.6 because it has other set of stability problems under heavy database load.
Most FreeBSD releases 5.2, 5.3, 6.0 are forkbomb resistent. Linux 2.6 is forkbomb friendly also, but runs much slower than FreeBSD 6 when forkbombed.
