Well, freebsd-qustions would be more specific, but that won't matter.

Differences... FreeBSD is a real Unix, while Linux is a ..how should I
say... semi Unix. IMHO FreeBSD ist lots faster than Linux, as I had Linux
on my server before, and when I changed to FreeBSD everything ran faster.

I can tell you very much about this. I administer a server with Apache
PHP3 and MySQL. First, there was Linux on it, (it's a Pentium 90) and then
I put FreeBSD on it. It's a real difference. FreeBSD runs much faster with
Apache MySQL and PHP3.

Choose FreeBSD. It's faster.
