On: Migrate from Linux to FreeBSD

The article is more balanced than I expected given the comments TBH.

I find it interesting that the Linux programs lspci, lsusb etc have ended up with arguably more consistent naming than the BSD equivalents pciconf and usbconfig.

You can use both lspci and lsusb on FreeBSD:
