DKnoto:
In the early 1990s, I didn't know what to choose, Linux or FreeBSD. I chose Linux for the reasons you mention. Now the situation is not so clear-cut. Yes, more companies support Linux, but I don't use those companies' products. Everything I use is 100% available in FreeBSD. I've been using FreeBSD on MoreFine M600 for a year now, and I'm happy with this solution.

I was taught UNIX with FreeBSD back in school days. Then I actually liked FreeBSD because of its consistency in user space toolings and packaging. I find Linux distribution (as the name suggests) is always a constant battle of mix and match of kernel and softwares in which vendor choose to incorporate their own ideas how an Linux OS should be. That alone has caused so much fragmentation just like the UNIX war in the old days, even though most Linux bistros have adopted standards it does not really help when one want to switch from one distro to other distro.
