Linux and FreeBSD have a lot in common. There are a lot of commonly used
applications that are available for both operating systems. The basic
principles behind the two are very similar, as are most of their
abilities. Where they differ, it is often not in what they can do, but
instead how (or how well) they can do it. For instance, the command used
by FreeBSD to create and modify firewalls is "ipfw", while it is
"ipchains" for Linux. 

If you learn on one, learning the other will not be hard.
