Maybe you didn't understand what I meant. I believe that BrandZ containers running outdated versions of Linux is a horrible joke. The overhead is higher, the performance is potentially worse. With FreeBSD it translates the syscalls and uses X11 directly. This is one area of OpenSolaris that needs a team, possibly call it "Project Calamity". For the reason that it would indeed just be said as that by many diehard purists. :-p
I think having to forward it through X11 which is running anyways is horribly stupid, and so far FreeBSD has the upper hand on compatibility. Back on Opera... at least the theme is a little bit better.
