I guess the best way to convince them is to show them the uniformity of 
the system.
Whether it's my computer, my friend's or any other FreeBSD box it is the 
SAME system,
it feels the same way, and it works the same way. Unlike Linux, where I 
have to check
where the config files are located each time I roam to another box.
Apart from that - FreeBSD IS UNIX. Linux is NOT. It's just something 
made to work the
same way.
When I first heard of FreeBSD I though that it is a nice idea, but I was 
kinda scared
of whether I would be able to switch easily - after a while with 
FreeBSD, I never looked
at Linux again. And I don't think I ever will.
