It does servers and it does it very very well, I dare say it blows Linux in the weeds. Mission critical server apps is what i do with it. No GUI - anywhere.

All of the BSD projects are
General Purpose Operating Systems, they can be and are used for many different purposes.
The mentality that BSD is and only should be used in a Server environment is
also a common Linux community mentality.
FreeBSD in some regards is favoured by people trying to use BSD on the desktop, but OpenBSD and NetBSD also work very well in this regard.. they wouldn't support X11 + DRM/DRI 3D acceleration or high quality sound chipsets if nobody ever intended for them to be used as "workstations" or "desktops".
Therefor I humbly ask that you stop spreading this misinformation.
