If you want to go Linux and maintain the "freedom of configuration" you have with FreeBSD (ie, just edit the text file, which is in a sensable spot) and get ...whatever it is you hope to get from linux - don't get me wrong, Linux has a lot to offer, I just can't personally think of anything it offers above and beyond FreeBSD - Slackware would be the way to go in my opinion. But that's holy war territory now, so I'll leave you with this: I switched to FreeBSD from Slackware because of the ports/package system. They make software installation so easy a Microsoft user could do it if they pay attention.
