Stability ??

I am running here a LINUX-system, but i am willing to switch to a *BSD system. Can anyone explain to me , what the differences between NetBSD and FreeBSD are ?? From the FAQ ( it's a little bit outdated ... ) i can't see the real differences (:. Another question is the required space, the FAQ says it uses about 80 MB ( FreeBSD ), ( while my LINUX here uses only 50 MB ). Sorry for this, but it is *not* clear from the FAQ, what the differences are. BTW From some Postings I saw, that the FreeBSD 1.1 should have shared libs, what does this mean for space Requirements ??
