But I don't think either justifies calling it FUD. There are real reasons to be wary of using FreeBSD, especially if you are developing on Linux. You definitely will see problems when you port your code.

I write all my code on a FreeBSD servers and have never had an issue with that code running on Linux (ZC only runs Linux in production). The only pain I have with Linux -> FreeBSD is people who write around things that are only found on Linux (for example buildouts that presume things like /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions or init scripts that presume the system has chkconfig or specific paths which are different on BSD systems if someone relies on RPMs) - otherwise, many large projects and many years of running FreeBSD tells me differently. I'm with George on this one, your problems are not FreeBSD unless you're not upping the stack size, in which case you'll be seeing seg faults in the log. Andrew
