As long as you can't tell by yourself, you are usually better off with FreeBSD, since it is easier to install and has more resources to support new users (handbook, people on mailinglists, user groups/people in your town). I think it is technically superiour in most ways that matter for me, but seem from an observer coming from Linux (or worse), that is not as relevant as the first point. As a side note, if you choose FreeBSD, take 4.0, not 3.4.
