Technological advantages over Linux

[Michael Watters]

FreeBSD is a true Unix and the way that the system is organized and
developed is simply more coherent than Linux.  Documentation for FreeBSD
beats the pants off anything Linux has.  RHEL docs are pretty good but
they're still no match for the FreeBSD handbook and man pages.  Commands
aren't deprecated every six months (ifconfig vs. ip, etc.).  libxo
support.  I could go on.

Having ZFS integrated into the base OS is also a killer feature.  ZoL is
a dog and isn't even officially supported by the kernel.
