FreeBSD and Linux have different roots. FreeBSD evolved from BSD UNIX developed by the Computer Science Research Group of the University of Berkeley in California from about 1977 to 1994. The creation of Linux (starting about 1989) was inspired by Minix, a free UNIX clone developed by Andrew S Tanenbaum as a small UNIX-like OS for educational purposes. BSD UNIX has had a very strong influence on the whole UNIX world (including Linux). Thus FreeBSD has many things in common with other UNIX OS, probably more than Linux has. To my mind Slackware Linux comes most close to FreeBSD from all the Linux systems.
