I'm a programmer, not a professional sysadmin, but for my side projects I have to manage my own servers (well, small VMs, but you know what I mean) and for this I definitely prefer BSD. In fact, I prefer BSD in general over Linux, and while I tried to run it on my main dev laptop, a never ending trickle of minor frustrations with hardware support (suspend/hibernate never worked right, weird issues with docking/undocking (I have a Dell latitude), audio, etc.) eventually forced me back to Ubuntu. So, for the time being I think I'll stick with Linux for my workstations and BSD for my servers :)
