Alexandre,

I know nothing about this company..  but just because a few boxes 
have FreeBSD doesn't mean they necessarily support it.   It's 
possible to change from linux to FreeBSD on remote machine using 
utilities like: http://www.daemonology.net/depenguinator/

Hope that helps,

Jeff

P.S.  Be warned,  that utility re-images the disk,  and can leave the 
machine in non-bootable state. Possibly forcing you to incur support 
fees from the ISP/Datacenter.
