This likely depends to the usage, assumed linux-rtai for CNC or linux-rt
for audio is needed, people need Linux. AFAIK FreeBSD doesn't provide
real-time abilities.

JFTR applications written on and for FreeBSD seemingly are used on Linux
too, there at least is one audio app, IIRC it's a MIDI sequencer. I have
forgotten it's name.

PS - less thinking about this thread, but more about another thread on
this list, anyway, not OT:

I'm not aware about fronts between FreeBSD and Linux users.

When eating a soup a spoon is a good tool, when eating a cake, a cake
fork is a good tool.

Are there fronts between spoon and cake fork users?
