It depends.. the basic principles and structure haven't changed. Drivers have always been a challenge, so they do port Linux drivers over when they can which is a challenge when it comes to 3D acceleration, etc.

These days there are 4 main BSDs. Free which you remember, Open for security maniacs, Net for those who want to run it on random things, Dragonfly is an experimental one.

It really is too bad that the BSD license by its nature doesn't require contributions especially where it would have been helpful. E.g. Sony uses BSD in the PlayStation which has a WiFi driver stack.
