I was switching to FreeBSD for five years. First my web server, then notebook and finally home computer. It was obviously not easy, but the desire to live in a consistent world drove me. And what can I say now: well, my wife and kids don't complain, I only need to learn one platform and being up-to-date is easy. What a tremendous relief!
