When I need a particularly low per packet cost such as a firewall I'll throw down some OpenBSD much as I hate to do it. On the other hand there are plenty of workloads I work with where FreeBSD 5 works great for me. Am I pissed as hell at that little NFS bug that's been floating around out there? Sure, but then I didn't drop the cash on a big Sun box to handle the load. While were at it, go look at what you get with Solaris these days. Sun's new OS can't fix the issues they are having with Sun's new hardware. With FreeBSD you have options 1) do the work yourself 2) live with it 3) use another OS that you are either paying for or not. In the mean time we all know you're not happy and none of us are capable of understanding the subtle and nuanced technical reasons why FreeBSD sucks.
