I urge you to watch the two TechTV shows presented by Matt Olander and 
Murray Stokely / Matt Olander and Brooks Davis. These are available

http://freebsd0.sitetronics.com/~mmaltese/ (FreeBSD vs. Linux)
http://freebsd0.sitetronics.com/~eanderson/ (FreeBSD clustering)

I'd say that's some damn fine PR. :)
