I think of it this way: If you interpret "rolling stones gather no moss" to mean you've always got to keep pushing forward or you'll become obsolete, choose Linux.

After CentOS Stable was cancelled, I migrated a number of our platforms to FreeBSD because it met our needs and I enjoyed working on it. No surprises, nothing breaking, and most importantly, no drama.
