Do not use FreeBSD 5, it is too new and unstable. Use FreeBSD 4.9 instead. If you need modern features (such as better threading etc) use FreeBSD 5.2.
I consider FreeBSD as superior to GNU/Linux.
Yahoo web servers run FreeBSD, too.
If you need security of firewall, OpenBSD is the best.
NetBSD is very portable.

someone's very pleased with FreeBSD 5.0: "Our site gets a million hits a day on a completely db-driven website. Both the Apache webserver and the two replicated MySQL servers on the backend are all running FreeBSD 5, and have been for months now." Does this configuration sound vaguely familiar? An alternative to consider in case SUSE proves unstable.
