I've disagreed with some of your points, but you had FreeBSD as a priority which was appreciated. I hate to say this, but Linux has won for the time being. I'm considering a switch to NetBSD or Linux here at home because of a number of problems with the direction FreeBSD has taken with the 3.x and 4.x releases. I've pushed hard to get FreeBSD into work, but I've begun working with Linux at the office and it requires much less push to get it adopted.
