All the difference. This is wrong. Many companies support BSDI or FreeBSD versions, and have since the glibc2 debacle made it nearly impossible to maintain only a single Linux distribution. A good example is Zend, which builds a PHP optimizer, and distributes 1 FreeBSD version and 3 Linux versions of the same program because of binary incompatability between Linux distributions.
