Any reason in particular for a BSD, and FreeBSD at that? Running legacy SysV/POSIX-compliant code is the only reason I can think of.
There's only one thing FreeBSD can do that Linux can't, which is Capsicum that I don't use, but for basic sysadmin I just find it nicer. The only Linux technology I really miss in FreeBSD land is KVM.
I note SmartOS supports both KVM and Bhyve.
