    Easy there, it might not be that solid. They haven't done much testing outside of x86 and even that is flaky and/or slow for a lot of hardware (including hardware every machine has).

    Unless FreeBSD offers something for Alpha that NetBSD and Linux don't and you absolutely must have it, you know where to turn.

    OSX is NOT FreeBSD. In fact it's not even UNIX.
