Why do you need to know if it is a Linux or a FreeBSD? 

Usually, it all boils down to checking specific conditions, libraries, paths 
instead of checking a system and then setting those conditions, libraries, 
paths to expeced values for that system. I find the former much better (and 
more portable since it will probably work on systems that you have not 
specifically addressed too).
