Why aren't you using FreeBSD?

I don't run it nearly as often as I used to because it's just not that good as a desktop... I get graphical corruption with my HD4350, HD3450 and HD4850, all of which work great with the open source driver in Linux. If I restart X on one of those machines, the entire system locks up, without any debugging information.

I don't use FreeBSD because I use OpenBSD =P
On a more serious note, I last tried FreeBSD around the 6.x/7.x timeframe, and the installer was...quirky? Once I tried the OpenBSD installer and got past the initial learning curve of OpenBSD, I never really looked back.

I used FreeBSD 6.x through 8.x as my primary system and development platform, only yielding it to Linux when I came into need of an incompatible x86 Linux blob. At present, because Android does all I need, and most things I care about either have Android apps or will compile on Linux ARM.
