Oh yea I forgot.. they're both extremely stable.
both have been on-line since sept. 95

the linux one froze up once that I can remember
the freebsd box has never crashed.. it just keeps on humming
and it gets alot more work to do also!

freebsd also has a much better, friendlier installation
process and a great kernel configuration method
  -I hate linux's kernel config script.

oh yea.. here's the versions we use:

linux 1.2.13
FreeBSD 2.1
