	I use both.  I'm more familiar with Linux.
	I'd pose the following decisions on your tree:

		Robust high speed TCP/IP:  FreeBSD +5, Linux -10
		High performance for local applicatons:  Linux +5, FreeBSD -2
		Diversity of Applications: Linux +10, FreeBSD +5
		Integration of Applications with OS: Linux -15, FreeBSD +10

	Others?
