Tons.  Primarily, FreeBSD is a more contained and standardized
distribution (There Is Only One) versus the 10 or so Linux put-togethers.
In addition, the ports and packages trees contains over 1,000 ported
programs ready to install with one command.

I suggest searching the mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org for other
responses.  Also check there for more information on FreeBSD.
