Ive been using FBSD since 2.0 something and BSD/OS for just over two years so I feel I'm versed enough in both for the move of services. I once copied over a program I had compiled on a FBSD box to a BSD/OS machine and it worked ok. Probably a fluke but I used it as a test to see how close the two really were. So by the sounds of things the transition of moving users and stuff over should be fairly painless.
