I have had experiences where modern hardware is such that Linux will 
work, and FreeBSD won't.  So I find myself forced to use Linux.  But I 
find the experience so frustrating, that as soon as FreeBSD catches up 
to that hardware - and this always seems to happen - I immediately go 
back to FreeBSD.
