I'd be interested in what you mean by "Developer OS".  It doesn't seem
to be what you need for web hosting and such.

Again, what does this mean?  Linux is still changing much faster than
FreeBSD, but that's because it is still maturing.  FreeBSD doesn't
need to change as fast, and that shows in its stability.

As others have pointed out, this isn't really true.

Well, I'd suggest you look for an operating system which fits your
needs.  The criteria you've stated above don't seem to have much to do
with the purposes for which you plan to use the system.  How about
looking for a system which is reliable and fast?  Then FreeBSD would
be your choice.
