I'll refer this to a web page I have setup.
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.

Hope it helps!!
