I am almost loathe to say this, but Linux does have it's place.  Since we
are discussing the relative merits and strengths of each system..  Linux has
much better java support, which is actually a "killer app" for many
companies.  Most companies that want to use java are better off using linux
in that role.

There are also some applications which are tricky to get running on FreeBSD,
eg Oracle.  Though most places that run oracle probably don't use linux
either ;)  I'm not too familiar with Linux apps overall though, and most of
them run fine under FreeBSD.
