...I unfortuantely think anyone would be hard pressed to say that a BSD based OS has the same driver support as Linux. It's a pretty basic assumption that driver support is one of the most important items with any FOSS regardless of the skill level.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE F-BSD too, but the article indirectly implies that driver support is up to par with Linux. In my experience, this is not the case.
Oh, and a desktop FreeBSD system that uses ports will easily spend more time compiling then being used. Again, I'm a big fan of the Ports system, but man, I can't do another KDE upgrade again!
