*Any* of the BSDs are so much less well supported that they'll drive you straight up a wall.
If by "less supported" you mean that your local strip mall doesn't offer a "BSD-certified-systems-engineer" class, then yeah .. but like anything else, experience in the tricker stuff is going to come at a premium. There are plenty of commercial support options (if that's your cup of tea) for the various *BSD offerings. IME, the BSD flavors (and versions of Linux like Slackware) are the tools of choice by people who will support themselves. These are also the people I trust when they come back and say "won't work, need to buy $x". My $0.02.

It's just that sometimes nobody multiplies the 3wks * salary_of_person (and discovers that it often is >= "WHAT?").
