Sure, you can get top-grade technical support from both the FreeBSD team and FreeBSD enthusiasts in freebsd-questions, but they aren't obligated by any commercial contracts for technical support. If you need specific on-demand live technical support, BSD/OS is for you. On the other hand, if you're a do-it-yourself competent guru, then you'll probably not need to burden yourself (or employer) with the value-added expense of commercial support; hopefully they'll give you the difference in price as a salary bonus for you. :) As to the stability of FreeBSD, ftp.cdrom.com should be a testament to FreeBSD stability.
