Many and few.
Ok enough of the cryptic answers.
There are appreciable differences between the two operating systems. One, Linux is a kernel, RedHat, SuSE, etc all package usable applications around the kernel and "sell" it as a distro. FreeBSD on the other-hand comes as a complete Operating system with no added extra's that haven't yet been tested against the kernel.
From a users point of view it will depend on what your going to do. If your a desktop user and aren't overly interested in the backend stuff, then installing KDE and the like you'll feel right at home and only notice a few nuances to distract you.From the command line its a different story. Things are in different places compared to Linux, also some commands don't work the same.
There are BSD forums that can answer you query better than I can, so do a google search, better yet, just download it and give it a go its guaranteed to give you hours of "fun"!
