This is more of a religious issue, but I would say that this is probably true. I think that IP stack implementation in and of itself would be a rather poor metric to use to distinguish the servers. Lots has to do with script processing performance (fork/exec and friends), data safety (FreeBSD does sync metadata writes by default, Linux apparently comes with this turned off, so a potential for more dataloss is there).
