3. FreeBSD is fast!
4. FreeBSD follows the UNIX Philosophy closer than linux.
5. FreeBSD is more minimal than linux.
6. FreeBSD is stable while having newer packages than some more unstable linux distros.
7. FreeBSD has more options, such as, having wmii while other modern linux distros do not have it in their repos.
8. FreeBSD userland allows more control than linux.
9. Every part of FreeBSD is made by the same FreeBSD company, unlike linux which has many communities and companies making software for the same distro.
10. FreeBSD tends to have less security issues as linux.
