I am not sure I would say that is harder to get them to convert as it were. I like and Run both Linux and FreeBSD. I think that the experiance in any UNIX is a good thing per se, and if they have a background in a REAL operating system, then they will be less... Frightened, shall we say, when they are familiar with ( UNIX flavor X here). I think that, for the UNIX comunity in general that any flavor that is starting to be indoctrinated into the public conscience is good for the whole.
