NB,

FreeBSD is really free... its "freeer" than linux is really looking at stuff like RedHat's or SuSE's Server Versions of their distribution which cost over $700...

No such thing on *BSD

FreeBSD can run 99% of the apps Linux can run.

As far as Windows apps go, I have never tested Windows Emulators on FreeBSD, but they exist.

You mentioned Mac. OSX is based on NeXT, which is/was a *BSD system. Its networking core is mostly FreeBSD I think, but as far as I know many other *BSDs use that too.

There are special Windows emulators for OSX, but again, never tested them.
