I know about the focus, but this is no 'desktop' use, it's a music workstation, not some fun-with-music-apps pc. I have been satisfied with performance and stability back in the days i was solely using freebsd, and that's why I would prefer to use it than start over with linux. Now, OSS is commercial, so I wouldn't like to go with it. I know 30 bucks is not much but it's against my views for my new studio. P.S.: Anyone here that uses freebsd for a music workstation?
