Linux is probably a better choice for a desktop workstation, if you want
a GUI. FreeBSD is a better choice if you want a pure server. If money
is no object, Solaris is very popular. And if you have lots of money
and very little expertise in system administration, Windows is a good
choice because it's easy to administer (even though it's not necessarily
the best choice in other respects).

I went directly to FreeBSD because my hosting company used it and it had
proven reliable over years of continuous operation. Also, the BSDs are
all complete operating systems, not "distributions" that have no
standardized content beyond a basic kernal. And the BSDs have a long
and fairly direct history of UNIX behind them, even though they aren't
called UNIX for legal reasons (having the right to call something UNIX
costs money, for some strange reason).
