Sigh... I was afraid this would bring out the FreeBSD bigots...
The truth is the differences between FreeBSD and Linux are pretty minor,
especially in the administration. For all intent purposes, the vast

Linux that both are considered Unix-like clones. Only a few people feel
the need to make a big thing about minor differences.
