Solaris 10's Live Upgrade (and the OpenSolaris equivalent) is quite

It is more straightforward to update a FreeBSD install from source
code because that is the way it is normally delivered. Sometimes
this is useful in order to incorporate a fix as soon as possible
without needing to wait for someone to produce binaries.
If you're going to go with (Open)Solaris, the OP may also want to look
into the multi-platform pkgsrc for third-party open source software:
http://www.pkgsrc.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pkgsrc
It's not as comprehensive as FreeBSD Ports (21,500 and counting), but
it has the major stuff and is quite good. I'd also look into the
FreeBSD Handbook:
