At least in my case, I /can/ strip down a FreeBSD (or a picobsd release)
install to its required components in a matter of minutes.  I keep up with
the latest security issues and major bugs.  It's a must for my daily job.
I track -stable and I'm watching -current when I can.

I feel comfortable with keeping FreeBSD secure.   To do this with Linux,
I have to start over.  I have an entirely different set of problems to
keep track of, an unfamiliar..eh..release process, etc.


If I worked in a Solaris or IRIX shop, I'd similarly prefer to run the
system in an environment closer to the "usual" working environment.

Just my thoughts. :)
