One advantage BSD currently has over Linux is porting applications
(by that I mean the ports collection) and ease of upgrades. I think
both of these are handled very well with FreeBSD. I don't remember
seeing this in previous posts on this subject. This is just my
humble opinion though; not all may care (or even agree).
