Looks like a great option but it you analize closer, it doesnt provide a 
native Oracle version. You cann't hire support contract for FreeBSD, it 
doesnt provide any warranty, so it is not a good option for core banking, 
for example.

I think that Solaris 10 is quite a option nowadays.

My .99 cents.
