FreeBSD is more a server than a desktop system. Ubuntu particularly is more of a desktop. That said, because it is a server its a hell of a lot more stable. I know of an old server that was up for over a year and half without rebooting. That has its drawbacks in that the fancy software like in some multimedia takes longer to become available, but as an X box it'll run better than others. For reference, FreeBSD doesn't run linux software- it uses different software distributions. But it can run some using a built in emulator- but not off the bat, it has to be installed the "BSD way".
