I am currently running linux (as I have for about 3 or 4 years) and it has
been suggested I would be better off with FreeBSD.

So, I am looking for a bit of advice, such as:

Is it really worth making the switch?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of switch?
How large is the learning curve, and more importantly, which is system is
better to know?


TIA

Yves.
