Solaris and MacOSX are the equivalents for this in the BSD world. I 
first ask my customers to decide if they want to deploy on BSD, Linux 
or Windows. After that, we talk about the exact flavour to use. If they 
take my advice in the first round, it is BSD. If they don't need 
Solaris, MacOSX, OpenBSD or NetBSD for a specific reason then there is 
no reason not to use FreeBSD.
