". it is not a Linux, it is a Unix system;"
I've (often) wondered - what does this mean for practical purposes?

If you haven't had an opportunity to explore FreeBSD it's worthy to explore your options and toolsets if for any reason to be a well rounded hacker and also to understand the freedom and choices you have to make your own educated decision on the tools which you find practical for your own purposes.
I completely agree with you that understanding the licensing, the freedoms you chose, the wonderful documentation and great integration you get from the BSDs are all important - but that's really a question of "What is the practical difference between choosing an OpenBSD versus a Linux System" - which is somewhat different than making the blanket statement, "It's not a Linux, it's Unix."
What are the practical implications of being "Unix" - i'm of the belief there really are none.
