Ha, I did exactly the same thing. FreeBSD is well-organized and generally makes sense. It stays out of the way and just works. BSD documentation culture is also second-to-none. Seriously, the manual for every BSD is incredible. FreeBSD's cousin DragonFlyBSD is also (IMO) doing some of the most interesting research in Unix-like OSes right now. It's a sort of hybrid of FreeBSD and Plan9, with a cutting-edge-and-more-stable-than-btrfs filesystem.
