I like the separation of the complete OS and third part software in
Ports Collection. I love the ability to upgrade from one major release
to another using source upgrade - without doing a complete reinstall, as
with the Linux distros I've used. I went straight from 5.4-> 6.1 without
any hassle. The EOL schedule for Fedora is almost killing me, and every
new release means a complete reinstall - in practice.

I boot FreeBSD far more often than Linux these days. What I still lack
is getting my Bluetooth and GPRS Cellphone dial-up link running...and
VMWare.
