FreeBSD's AMD64 support is still in its infancy... as much as I am a lover of Free BSD over linux, the AMD64 on Linux is (for now) far more developed and stable.

I only know this because I have to build a big mysql db server soon -- there is nothing better to use for this than dual opteron on Linux.
