One thing to add about the filesystem, is the long fsck's(File system checks) you have to go threw in linux. If you dont umount properly or your machine crashes, Linux will make you sit threw long checks, taking almost 5 mins(on 6gig) to be completed. In the future linux will have a Journaling File System and hopefully FreeBSD will the also. >There was a recent debate here over how FreeBSD's file system *may* be >better for reliablility than linux, even though it *may* be slower.
