One thing that FreeBSD really was great at was setting up traffic shaping for a large network. I set up per-user shaping of all DSL users for a rural ISP in maybe a couple commands and it worked very reliably. Meanwhile in Linux I've tried several times to set up shaping, and anything more than just the most basic setup I've never really gotten working reliably.
