Hah!
Honestly though Jeff - You sound like an experienced user, at the risk
of starting the war again, It really boils down to a lot of personal
preference. We use freebsd because we like freebsd, we like the
communitiy, etc, etc, etc. My choice boils down to 2 things.
/usr/ports/.../... # make install
and
/usr/src # make world(ish)
From the server standpoint, if you know what your doing, given enough
time, you can do pretty much anything you could want to with either.
