I agree with the above, I was just avoiding a flamewar (/me ducks!). 
I've used FreeBSD since 1999 on most what I can get my hands on 
(including my daily-use laptop/workstation). So far, I have not seen a 
GNU/Linux distro that offers as good a solution as FreeBSD for my 
desktop needs. Although I may be biased, since I am a committer and all ;).
