FreeBSD seems to have a very positive image, but the same is true of Linux. Could you please explain the main differences between them, and why people who tested both systems chose FreeBSD rather than Linux? I think it would be interesting to include this discussion in the FAQ, provided these differences are not just a matter of individual taste or activism. Thanks in advance.
