Well, I would say go with what you know the best. As you will most likely
run the exact same programs, but compiled for your system, you can always
change later if you find any problems. As far as I know FreeBSD is
supposedly a tad sharper with very heavy load, but Linux supports more
hardware and can be easier to start with.
