Not that I want to start a new flame war, but FreeBSD is always
better than Linux. ;-))
However, the biggest advantage is the better TCP/IP implementation
and the behavior of FreeBSD under heavy load conditions (e.g. many ftp
or http users). Also the stability is real impressive. For more
detailed information have a look onto http://www.freebsd.org. There are
a handbook and also a FAQ file with a lot of information. As an example
of how powerful FreeBSD is, connect to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org of
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com these are the official sites for the FreeBSD
distribution and one of the biggest and most accessed site on the
internet, running FreeBSD!
Regards and have fun with FreeBSD
Lars
