Linux is an operating system that is "like" UNIX. FreeBSD is based on the Berkely Unix Sources... FreeBSD isn't UNIX-like, it _is_ UNIX (trademark holders notwithstanding.) Thus, FreeBSD's sources are much more mature - many people find FreeBSD to be much more compatible with traditional UNIX and more stable than other OSs.
