Um, Linux is only the kernel.  A lot of the software packages for BSD
and Linux are built and maintained by the very same people (eg. the GNU
software stack).  "His experiences with reporting bugs to Linux, are
similar to mine" is a meaningless statement.  Are we talking about
submitting bugs to the kernel developers?

Nope, there are different variations there as well. A lot of the core
applications are the same (GNU).  It still seems to me that you have not
yet orientated yourself to the Open Source world.  It is complicated, do
not expect to understand it overnight.  It is fundamentally different
from the way Apple and Microsoft (and most proprietary vendors) work.
Please have an open mind and start over.

You can pretty much kiss USB and firewire support goodbye.  Your support
device list is also a lot smaller.  I have never tried to use a BSD
machine as a DAW.  YMMV.

The main ones are netBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD.  I think that there may
be one or two other variants.
