* The base kernel somehow supports things that Linux distros can get stuck on.
I have seen one using a Promise RAID card whereas the Promise Linux driver was binary and for RH6.2 only.)

* The installer's crap. And the disk partitioning thing is ancient and wierd. There are advantages to using FreeBSD's slice mechanism but there are disadvantages, too. Configuring the things in the first place is one of them.

* The Ports system is not hard to use, but no challenge to apt. It also doesn't handle upgrades well, in that keeping several servers current is A Difficult Task.

That said, I'm glad I spent time working in FreeBSD. It means I can properly appreciate The Debian Way. :-) But I don't really want to support FreeBSD.
