Not to start a flame-fest or anything (but who doesn't love em?), I hear
the above quite a lot. 

I'm under the firm belief that a decent sys admin can rub either system to
do whatever they want it to do. Not that I am questioning your abilities.
I just get the "yeah, Linux is good, but just try to use it in a
production environment and you'll understand" a lot.

Granted, a lot of Linux distributions are totally unsuited for a server
environment. Compared to that, I could understand why the 
server-orientedness of FreeBSD is attractive, but I certainly couldn't put
up a reasonable arguement for either side in Slackware Linux vs. FreeBSD.

Could you?
