The next major release of FreeBSD, version 7, is one of the most significant so far, with amount of new technologies and improvement largest since introduction of 5.0. Since constantly searching the mailing lists for important changes can be a bit tedious, this page lists some of the more interesting new things in one place.

FreeBSD also tends to be more server-oriented than Linux
More server oriented? Most of the commercial companies that contribute to the Linux kernel do so with the server in mind. Linux runs on mainframes, FreeBSD does not. Oracle, DB2, SAP, and so on runs natively on Linux, not on FreeBSD.
Linux just happens to have more desktop-oriented contributions in addition to all the server-oriented contributions.
