This is absolutely true, but depending on the number of users you
should be careful about just tearing a working system down.
Things that work out of the box with let's say 30 users might
need some more subtle handling with 800 (this is my own
experience).
If - for example - one of your services on your old machine lacks
performance, it might be a good idea to just transfer this
service to your new FreeBSD server. So you can collect experience
with FreeBSD and improve your network.

If you are thinking of samba and gatewaying/proxying: very well.
Windows users won't see a difference.

Front-ends like mysqlcc and phpmyadmin are available via ports.
