True; but linux has support for a bigger variety of soundcards
(my Win98^H^H^H^H^H^HEverQuest machine now has a Live! in it; supported
under Linux but not under FreeBSD AFAIK; so the other half of the disk
may turn turn into ext2 rather than ffs)
The other 2 boxes will, of course, stay FreeBSD.
I generally get the feeling that `Workstation Hardware'[1] has a better
chance of being supported under Linux than FreeBSD. I may be talking rubbish,
though ;-)
[1] SoundCards; funky USB magic to talk to your digital camera; that kind of
thing.
