Not to start a flame-fest or anything (but who doesn't love em?), I hear the above quite a lot. I'm under the firm belief that a decent sys admin can rub either system to do whatever they want it to do. Not that I am questioning your abilities. I just get the "yeah, Linux is good, but just try to use it in a production environment and you'll understand" a lot. Granted, a lot of Linux distributions are totally unsuited for a server environment. Compared to that, I could understand why the server-orientedness of FreeBSD is attractive, but I certainly couldn't put up a reasonable arguement for either side in Slackware Linux vs. FreeBSD.
