It is a nice strong free Unix. That is a good thing
i never installed it yet..if i do install it will also be a duel boot linux/freebsd...does it have as much support...ect as linux?
It is community supported, which IMHO is a good thing. If you can find help on the Internet for Linux than it will be easy for you to find help for FreeBSD on the Internet. They got newsgroups, forums, mailing lists, documentation, chat rooms, about everything you would find with Linux. Hell sometimes I "leech" Linux howto's to get things working on the BSD box. The Sendmail-Howto even though is in the /usr/doc of a Linux system, it still applies to other Unix boxes that wish to run Sendmail.
i know its good for running a server ect... other than that what else could it be used for?
Depends, what do you want to use it for? It is a strong Unix that is open source and community supporedt, that means it is highly flexiable, you could use for almost anything you wanted to. What do you want to use it for? More than likely it will be able to do what you need it to.
i also know its pretty secure outta the box... no flame wars meant to be started either just a curiosity ... remember an operating system is a tool and diffrent tools have diffrent functions if more people would be open minded then possibly that would cut down on all the flame wars in the world... make love not war,give a flower to show love not a punch to start a fight.. in the cyber world it would be give a linux to show love, not a window to start a fight... hehe j/k..

Kinda makes me want to go back to FreeBSD or my old PDP-8..........
Plenty of good reasons to use FreeBSD, too. I dual boot Linux/FreeBSD. Best of both worlds.
Take care,
