This article motivated me to give FreeBSD a go about a month ago. I haven't been using it consistently, but so far it's been like using linux, if there wasn't so much insanity surrounding how to do everything outside of the kernel in linux-distro-land. I found it much easier to start poking around the source of the kernel, and of the various userland utilities, and all of the source that I looked at was pretty damn clean, well commented C. The man pages are better (or at least more consistent). Actually, the whole OS feels a lot more consistent. In short, I'm liking it. You probably will to if you're the type that likes to get down and dirty with your OS.
