I just mean Linux is much more popular than FreeBSD to non-programmers and non-IT folks. I'm pretty sure due to the popular distributions there are much more PCs running Linux than FreeBSD today. Most of these run the kernel which came with the distribution, and also the version of ntpd which came with the distribution. Unlike with FreeBSD (AFAIK) there are a large number of Linux distributions with a large number of versions each, and thus a large number of different kernel versions are running out there, so the probability that the ownwer of a system which encounters those problems is higher for Linux than for FreeBSD.
