Well, if you don't know programming, FreeBSD (like Linux) is a perfect development environment. You have all the tools to write great C/C++ programs (or just about any other language you can think of), and the best part is that if you were to buy all of the equivalent tools under Win95 it could cost you thousands of dollars!
