Just a point, I'm the proud owner of _at least_ 2 different current types of Sun hardware, that FreeBSD does not work on, at least not wekk enoygh to deploy production machines that is. Blade 1500's don't work _at all_ and U40's are too unstable to deploy.
It's shame,as for the applications I bought these machines for, I'd prefer FreeSBSD.
