I don't know about FreeBSD but there's things I can do with NetBSD that
can't be done with Linux. The relevance of which is going to be different
for everyone:
Run it on a Mac
Run it on an Amiga
Run it on an hp300
Run it on a pc532
Run it on a Sparc
(plus all the other platforms that are coming)
Run Sun-OS binaries.
Run real shared libraries.
