I played around with a friend's FreeBSD system back in the mid-late 90s. 
Certainly a solid OS, and back then, FreeBSD had a very good reputation, but
most of my projects from then on required some form of Linux, and *BSD wasn't
always supported.

I remember my first Internet (shell) account was on a BSDi (commercial BSD
variant) host.  That seemed rock solid too.

But yeah I have no idea where any of the BSDs are at now.
