Yes, on Linux is easier, getting things compiled or getting RPM or DEB (the
scale of compilers).

My only complaint is that there are lots of packages I need to maintain.
Just because of some OpenSSL vulnerability on Linux, there have been several
occasions to do quick upgrades which can take much time.

At times, I get the feeling Linux is less secure. This is way I track
Openwall if you are not familiar with it. Check it out.

BSD gives much higher stability and your programming investment will last
longer. If I were you, give BSD a good try. Once you set, you will be
cruising. You can use this board to have others help you debug...
