I used to run a PC-BSD system and it pretty much worked out of the box, that is until I got an AMD 6* series video card but I hear the radeon driver is being developed and very close to being integrated into FreeBSD 10 and backported to 9.

Yes, FreeBSD lacks some features that Linux has, but it's still being developed and it has its uses outside of the server market too. For example, Sony is reportedly using it as the core OS for the new PS4 and there's a project that is aiming to create a HUD device which is also based on FreeBSD, http://hmdviking.blogspot.jp/
