Also if some things don't work or work strangely or are poorly
documented, finding sources for them is MUCH easier in FreeBSD. Linux 
is a patchwork of independent packages, and tracking down what came
from where and was patched by what is usually not easy. Also commercial
distributions of Linux sometimes tend to "lose" parts of sources, 
so that you will not always be able to re-compile the stuff at all.
There's been a short period when I worked on building a Linux
distribution and that was a quite special experience.

I you would want to get a Linux after all I would strongly recommend
getting a free distribution like Debian or Slackware.
