I moved from Linux (Debian GNU/Linux) to (Free|Open)BSD a few weeks ago and I am really impressed by the *BSDs. They are working very well (the "Just works" feeling I missed a long time), the port and package-system is very nice and handy, it's stable and you have a really powerful (superior) community (mailinglists, forums, ...) Linux orientates more on Windows and Mac rather than POSIX, Unix and BSDs. Unity and Gnome3 do the same way: They want to be better than Apple/Windows and gain market share - the "Linux as desktop"-rubbish. But this is not the way I want to work and I really **hate** this movement. I don't need eye candy - I need something to get my work done! So - for people who want to work (and not to play) with an operating system - the BSDs are a good place to start. And as server operating system, BSDs will never die because they are stable, secure and functional!
