OpenSolaris has some nice technologies, but with FreeBSD you can run zfs. With
the 8.0 release you can run vimage which is essentially Solaris Zones, while
FreeBSD has had jails for years and recently upgraded jails to v2. Crossbow is
really the only feature not in FreeBSD that I'd like to have, although I can do
without.
It is also interesting that VirtualBox is just as fast on FreeBSD as
OpenSolaris, although it doesn't consume as much resources like memory and cpu.
I used to use OpenSolaris but too many problems sent me back to BSD. It might
work for some, but I'm better off on BSD.
For me, my only choices are Solaris 10, Opensolaris, or Windows. I
choose Opensolaris. I run a CAD program that now only currently runs on
Solaris and Windows. I have it running on Opensolaris. For me,
Opensolaris is pretty stable once you get it running (I'm using the
development edition). If I upgrade and it breaks, I just change my boot
environment (BE) to a previous working BE and all is in order. That
feature makes using the development editions livable.
