FreeBSD is BSD, which is the same kernel Mac OSX is based off of. It's pretty nice, but I still prefer the Linux kernel over the BSD kernel. BSD is like a middle ground between Linux and true UNIX.
In order from least UNIX like to most UNIX like, it goes like this:
NT - some other kernels that aren't really used anymore, like BeOS and shit - DOS - Linux - BSD - UNIX


Anyway, my favorite distro is probably Arch Linux. It's more of a power-user distro, but unlike Gentoo, you don't have to compile everything.
