Definitely, but to what degree depends on what other OSes you have
listed.
o Listing FreeBSD by name identifies that you have experience in the
BSD community.
o FreeBSD is something that people are beginning to recognize,
largely because of its ability to run busy sites like Walnut Creek
CD-ROM, Yahoo!, and friends.
o If your other OSes are NetBSD and OpenBSD, the benefit of
mentioning FreeBSD by name is probably less significant than if
your other OSes listed are Solaris and H-pukes.
While I do not mention every OS I know by name on a resumé, I do try
to show breadth by giving examples of each major area.
But you correctly suspect that BSD is going to be more significant
than HPUX or AIX (that's "aches" :-) when dealing with the Internet.
