Linux do not have FreeBSD emulation :-) What it mean is that FreeBSD run most of the linux programs around. Also, FreeBSD has "the ports collection", which is a huge collection of software. You browse it and you install what you like. The command are mostly the same. I don'think that PINE is a server: I think it's a mail reader. FreeBSD come with a mail server and has a reputation of being rock-stable.
