Perhaps you are not understanding by what I meant by age. OpenSolaris was in planning stages in 2004 and did not even receive the Solaris source code until June 2005. In comparison, the FreeBSD project has been around since 1993, which gives it a huge organizational head start over OpenSolaris. After this many years, the FreeBSD project is like a well-oiled machine. Solaris itself is quite mature (Solaris 2.0 released in June 1992, but with Sun lineage back to 1982, and AT&T lineage to the dawn of Unix) but OpenSolaris is still in fledgling stages. OpenSolaris is doing quite well given its relative youth.
