This isn't a holy war, and freeBSD does well for itself where it's good. It's definitely oriented to servers.

Not really, it's just different. Not trying to be the same, which catching up implies.

Glad to see this list, will keep an eye on it !

Now to be fair, in a few ways I think it is ahead. Now if you said "catch up to Linux in hardware support" I would fully agree.

Last I heard, its VM (swap/memory) processes is still better, but seems many Linux people avoid swap space these days. FWIW, I always have swap on any system that allows it.

And Jails, IMO nothing on Linux comes close to how good FreeBSD Jails is.
