 I would stay stick with FreeBSD -- I used linux  [RedHat 6.1], and that thing was a nightmare. 
You might want to go with Linux just to learn Unix a bit,
as the installs are generally easier and it's more of an
idiot-proof kinda setup.

	If you are a serious computer user/Unix user
I would definitely suggest FreeBSD -- so far I haven't found
anything better [Sys admin on Solaris 8 sparc -- still think FBSD 
is much beeter :) ]

	I would go read up on Unix in general still and then make 
your own decision but here is one thing you will very often find in the mailing list:

people dumping linux and going to FreeBSD -- Linux is just the learning step
and then after you learn unix enought you go to FreeBSD to get serious :).
