I don't remember the particular question, so it may be worth asking it
again, by a posting to our technical questions' mailing list:

Redhat GNU/Linux is a UNIX-like system too, so there are definitely good
things to gain from that system.  As UNIX-like systems, FreeBSD and
the Redhat GNU/Linux distributions share a lot of common 'design'
attributes, and many features are implemented in very similar ways.

My own recommendation would be to try *both* systems.  My own personal
preference is greatly in support of FreeBSD, but that is just that: a
personal preference for the way the FreeBSD releases work, the way the
FreeBSD team operates, and the way the overall 'FreeBSD experience'
tends to match my style of work.

There are both similarities and differences.  It's not easy to guess
what *you* would prefer, in advance.  Hence my suggestion to try both
systems and see for yourself :-)
