Looking for wannabe FreeBSD/EC2 users

Can anyone tell me the benefits of freebsd over popular Linux server distros (Ubuntu/centos/rhel)?

You mention funding for development. What amount would cover it and what is a meaningful amount?<p>I'm one of those people that bugged you on the AWS forums about this :). I run FreeBSD on my servers but have had to compromise on EC2 (running Ubuntu now).

I presume the only thing I would like to check out on FreeBSD is dtrace. The 2nd thing would be perhaps something related to ZFS.

I've wanted to use EC2 for some projects, however I don't like using Linux, so if FreeBSD would work on EC2 it would certainly help get me using Amazon's services.<p>However because I am currently unemployed I do not have any money to put into development, and all my projects that require a positive cash flow have been put on the backburner.
