Agreed. I've used SGI, Sun and Digital systems for both fun and profit in the past, and will choose FreeBSD over them any day of the week. It's a far more comfortable development environment, and locating, installing and configuring any third-party tools I might need is far easier than on any commercial Unix I know of. Anyone who thinks IRIX, Solaris or Tru64 have better hardware support than FreeBSD is losing sight of the fact that they are designed to run on a very limited and tightly controlled range of hardware, while FreeBSD will run (with a little effort) on practically anything you throw at it, within reason.
