I like FreeBSD but I had serious issues that didn't occur in Linux. I had a Supermicro server running FreeBSD. After about a month of operating I would run into an issue where the network interface (e1000) would cease working due to mbuf exhaustion after about a month of operation. I submitted a bug report to Bugzilla but never got to the bottom of the issue. I later upgraded to another Supermicro server that was a couple of generations newer but still had an Intel e1000 NIC and the same issue persisted. Again submitted a bug report but the issue was never fixed and never got to the bottom of it. It was hard to also troubleshoot because the network drops would happen after about a month, so it was hard to reproduce. Fed up, I switched to Linux and never had these issues. There's a lot of issues on bugzilla with e1000 related to mbuf issues, so my guess is its just a low quality driver issue.
