History. One of the things that drew me to FreeBSD is that *is*
BSD Unix (Linux tends to an eclectic mix of SysV + BSD); and UNIX
people that know BSD would be more comfortable with FreeBSD.
You may want to talk about BSD vs GPL licensing (good for a couple of
minutes), even if it may draw controversy.
Distribution differences and development models.
Emulation (we do Linux, but they don't do FreeBSD).
As to handling the crowd: Have slides and visual aids, they distract
the audience. Try the speech on someone - even if they don't
understand what you're saying, they can comment on your presentation
style.
Good luck!
