*BSD vs. Linux

Here's some links to some (pro-FreeBSD) pages that compare BSD to Linux. I often wonder the same myself - why did I go to BSD instead of Linux? I use Linux at work, and have installed many different Linux distros, yet I picked FreeBSD for my server. I think I like the fact that source code is still very important to the BSD community. You can always download and install something via the source code, and it is usually more painless than just about any Linux distro I've tried. I also like the model of a single source for the distribution, rather than dozens of competing development trees, although with the multiple flavors of FreeBSD these days, that might not be quite as clearcut as before.
