It was just an example. I don't use FreeBSD because Oracle Solaris sucks 
but because it works best for me. No other unix not only is as fast 
but allows so easy tuning like compiling own kernel and configuring 
things.

What do you prefer - few files in /etc, like rc.conf to configure almost 
everything in base system (+starting installed ports), or thousands of 
files in modern "linux distro" or oracle solaris?

Sorry but when i HAD to deal with linux i just deleted most of /etc and 
write my own /etc/rc.


Solaris 11 was just an example of overadvertised things that are just 
useless.  Linux is "trendy" and quality is second thing, but it had to be 
everywhere including things that should not have OS at all, like VoIP 
gateway.
