I'd put people like your friend on digging canals and doing construction work. How can anybody with half of a brain conclude that something is "broken" just because the menu comes up in text mode? That friend of yours probably never heard of ALOM, RSM, CMS and the like. What does that have to do with anything? Well the "splash screen" doesn't show up over serial lines in a lights out management environment, so the first thing to do is to SHUT IT OFF. Based on what you described here, I honestly do not believe your friend wanted a "production grade world class OS as well as ZFS to explore". He wouldn't know what to do with either, even if both of them hit him square in the face. It's construction yard for him, like a lot of people that landed in the IT industry in the last ten years, he does not appear to be computer science material.
