PcBSD is the desktop version. Nice but I still prefer Linux.
FreeBSD is the server version. I run this both at work and home for my

OpenBSD is the paranoically secure version. Never needed this.

There is, of course the basic question as to whether the applications that run
on redhat can be ported to *BSD, and what application support could be
available for that...

I've run Linux apps (including Oracle) quite happily on FreeBSD using
FreeBSD Linux emulation. Better to use the native FreeBSD version if
it's available however. :-) There are a LOT of apps that are native to
FreeBSD.
As far as support goes, well, that brings up back to the Original Topic,
doesn't it? No company I know of supports all hardware/software
variants that their code might be running on/under.
What I find more interesting is which companies actually provide a good
level of support for the combinations they purport to support! :-)
