Free BSD is the best

It is not linux - It is BSD - But it uses the same ideas with a different kernel and license

It uses Ports (Gentoo users - ports - portage? - HAH) which is in my opinion the best way to install software

It just works better than linux - There are less distributions so there is less spread of ways to do things

If you are a new user then I would recomend it to you

You avoid the 'hardness' (who the hell needs to hand mount file systems and re-configure a kernel on their first go round) of Gentoo

And the cruft of debian (used and use it - apt-get installs a lot of things that you sometimes do not need - and sometimes does stuff wrong)
