FreeBSD is none of the above. It is a complete operating system based upon the Berkeley-flavor of Unix (BSD). It is completely *free*. Many companies use FreeBSD to handle their web presence (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgallery.html). It's extremely stable (FreeBSD machines routinely stay running 24hrs a day for 100's of days at a time!) Our FreeBSD machines only get rebooted during power outages or kernel upgrades -- both are rare occurances. Otherwise, they're 7/24. If you're interested in FreeBSD, check out the home page at http://www.freebsd.org and welcome to the FreeBSD community!
