Never heard of FreeBSD.
-most haven't ;)
How does it compare to Linus?
-you can't compare it to linus but to Linux :) they are both posix-compatible and share a lot of software but different kernels and interfaces
Is it more open?
-depends. with bsd you get code from the work of others. in linux if you alter this code you have to give your changes back to the community so that the software can evolve. in bsd you don't have to do this. i think it's bad but it's obvious companies prefer this.
How will it affect users like us?
-in no way until ps4 gets hacked.
Harder to develop apps? Easier?
- apps? sony will have an api-layer for this. easier? easier than what? but depends on the dev-environment by sony.
