1) Been with BSD/OS since it's inception. Great OS and good example to follow. But BSD/OS was eventually killed and FreeBSD sort of inherited it's legacy. Both follow the simplicity and good architecture models, with FreeBSD improving on modularity. 2) The BSD license. Contrary to popular belief, it has brought a lot of high quality development to FreeBSD. 3) Universal toolkit. It scales easily from the thinnest embedded system, to various desktops to huge servers -- all with the same familiar tools and environment. Sure, for consumption there are "easier" systems, such as PC-BSD (FreeBSD again), Ubuntu and, of course OS X. But there is no better platform, or kit to build whatever you need around. Daniel
