This page incorporates mainly comments pulled from responses the previosu questions along this line. It's mainly FreeBSD vs. Linux, but there's a fair bit of other OS's (SCO, OpenBSD, NetBSD< M$, etc) tossed around, too. The URL is: http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd/bsdvlin.htm It's not very pretty, I'm afraid, but the information's there.
