While this may not be a comparison of Linux and FreeBSD, I can tell you
that the Computer Science Department  at The University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is using FreeBSD and the book "The Complete FreeBSD"
by Greg Lehey for an operating systems course.  Not sure if they are using
any texts besides The Complete FreeBSD, but you may want to check it out.
The book is excellent and FreeBSD is an old standard version of UNIX, so
it appears to be a great teaching platform.

Hope that this helps.
