The learning curve from Linux to BSD is not much really. I took on a gig looking after 100+ FreeBSD boxes (IBM bare metal servers) and the transition was much easier than expected. The documentation is fantastic, and the separation of "base" vs 3rd party software/config was a refreshing change. The client opted for FreeBSD as the OS seemed to handle much bigger traffic without breaking a sweat (HAProxy, Nginx, PHP & MySQL) Overall I enjoyed the exposure to FreeBSD and learned a lot in the process.
