I'm making a MAME cabinet and I'm starting to evaluate as much
MAME-related software as I can find.  Seeing as there is some Linux
software out there, I was wondering if anyone has done a project with a
FreeBSD box?  A lot of these projects use DOS SVGA - how does FreeBSD
compare in terms of performance/usability?  What about Linux?

experiences/advice/warnings welcome!

I am already familiar with various "sucks" or "rules" opinions - stick
to the topic plz! :)

cheers,
lazybones
