of the 3 or 4 linux distros I have experience with, one 1 has not required me 
to manually add a device driver or two. despite the lack of "prettyness" of 
freebsd's installer, I find freebsd to be by far quicker and easier to 
install. I have also found that freebsd's ports are easier to install and 
maintain that linux's rpms.

you aren't really going to get a truly partial answer to that question on this 
mailing list, I think just about everyone will tell you that freebsd wins in 
the stability department. but in all my dealings with linux, i never once 
heard someone say linux was more stable than freebsd :)
