I think I can answer why I like freebsd.
Stability.
Uptime for months at a time. Most of the problems that I have had with
my Freebsd servers have been when I was doing something stupid that I
now know better.
Also, it may be used completely free of charge, even if it is used
commercially. The licensing of linux flavor of the month is not quite so
clear.
It is used by MANY large commercial web farms, universities, and other
entities.
It has widespread use enough that if you find a problem with it, the
solution is probably online somewhere. In other words, its a more
"mature" operating system than most Linux flavors.
Just my $0.02. Not trying to create a flame war.

Why do people that prefer FreeBSD prefer FreeBSD?

Subject: [WISPA] Linux distro for the desktop
I am a FreeBSD guy. Heart and soul. However, I am in the process of
evaluating which Linux distro I want to put on my laptop. I would
just go with FreeBSD, but I want to try this Linux thing...FreeBSD
makes the BEST server platform (no flames, please), but their desktop
OS is not the best.
