[0] Development environment [FreeBSD] FreeBSD includes an extensive collection of development tools. You get a complete C/C++ development system (editor, compiler, debugger, profiler, etc.) and powerful Unix development tools for Java, HTTP, Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Awk, Sed, etc. All of these are free, and are included in the basic FreeBSD installation. All come with full source code. [Windows 2000] Very few development tools are included with Windows 2000. Most need to be purchased separately, and are rarely compatible with each other. [Linux] 
Linux includes all the same development tools as FreeBSD, with compilers and interpreters for every common programming language, all the GNU programs, including the powerful GNU C/C++ Compiler, Emacs editor, and GDB debugger. Unfortunately due to the very splintered nature of Linux, applications that you compile on one system (Red Hat 7) may not work on another Linux system (Slackware).
