Quite honestly, I don't see that the web page is that unbalanced. It does mention Linux much more than FreeBSD, but there's a lot more Linux out there, so that doesn't make it unbalanced. I think probably the best thing we can suggest is a page on "Free UNIX: your choice", with a summary (2 paragraphs or so) on each flavour, and with plenty of links to follow up to. Comments?
