I = like to say that I am OS Agnostic, not that I think the OS does not = matter, but that I choose the OS based on the job I need to get done. = For example, for many of the reasons listed, I would choose Linux as the = OS for a Unix-Like Workstation over FreeBSD or Solaris/Illumos even = though I think that both the FreeBSD and Solaris kernels are _much_ = stronger kernels. But, the vast majority of Unix-Like Desktop utilities = and environments are developed _for_ Linux so they run better in that = environment. On the other hand, unless and application requires Linux, I = tend to prefer FreeBSD for servers. Each has their place and using the _correct_ OS for the task at hand can = make the task easier to accomplish and (possibly) more reliable.
