Why is another project's problems FreeBSD's problem?
Xorg isn't even in the base system.

If you install a port, that is your problem, but my server runs great without Xorg
and Xorg is not part of FreeBSD.  It will run on FreeBSD, but that is like
blaming Apple for Windows Media Player problems on Mac OS X.

>2. Fix SATA RAID driver problems?

If you buy a quality SATA Raid card, with quality support, this isn't an
issue.  3ware regularly updates the drivers for their cards and
regularly commits their updates back into the base system.  Buy
a cheep card, get cheep support, buy a quality card, get quality
support.

Why do you blame FreeBSD for other project's problems?
