FreeBSD is a complete operating system with a single distribution. Linux
is a unix kernel that is released with a varying set of distributions.

The functional difference is as slight as the differences between any two
flavors of unix. One thing to note, programs that run on Linux can also
run on FreeBSD but not the other way around.
