No, they are terrorists against humans who do the natural human behaviors of eating animals and using their skins. they are man-haters, to hell with them.
The security breaches I saw would have worked on *any* OS, FreeBSD included.
Do you have hard evidence that an Ubuntu server is crap? Not my favorite server os, I do like BSD better for servers, but we've a couple internet facing Ubuntu boxes at our company that have been running for years with no problems and doing millions of dollars of e-commerce per year.
Sun support was for running on Sun hardware, with Linux (and more than just Red Hat), you can get support for wider variety of hardware.
Solaris was closed source for most of its life. Sun even provided funds for the "new SCO" while it was attacked Linux, and even spread FUD of its own against LInux. So Sun and Solaris deserved to die. OpenSolaris was too little too late, and now its dead too. Just as well, who want Oracle running things?
I can't tinker if I have to spend man-days of time to get a useful desktop so I can tinker with *my* projects. Getting an OS usable is tinkering with someone else's stuff. A server justifies that kind of thing, but not a desktop, I want to be up and at it in less than an hour. FreeBSD desktop takes away too much tinkering time.
"can run Xorg", doesn't mean that someone took the time to integrate a good user desktop, usually the GNU-linux centric desktops and utilities leave many loose ends when ported to other OS. The FreeBSD documentation isn't as polished as say OpenBSDs, the freebsd developers aren't forced to keep it current as the OBSD are (code will be thrown out of release if docs not updated). Most people want their computer to be tool to do work, don't want to spend time grinding blades out of rods for screwdrivers, so to speak. Man-days of work to get usable system might get a hardcore gentoo user excited, but not most of us.
you didn't get the memo, as of a few months ago we all hate Ubuntu; and Arch, Mint, and Debian are the approved GNU/Linux as long as you're not running GNOME 3 (though with mods to make it more user friendly like Mint 12 it's then sanctified)
why do you think ZFS == data integrity? Try importing a corrupt zpool and watch that *crap* filesystem freeze your solaris 11 system with kernel panic.
There are a few filesystems available in Linux kernel where data integrity is taken seriously enough, apparently moreso than by zfs developers.
I'm not for the tasing of normal people, but these brainless two-legged carbon sacks that tie up 911 lines for frivolous reasons should have the anterior portion of their rectum tasered.
it sucks for certain kinds of desktop work. for the things I do, core count and size of RAM beats mips, flops, GHz. Modest six-core AMD is better for me than highly priced double or quad core Intel

regardless of "fins" or not, quantum effects spells the end of miniaturisation of features the for current digital semiconductor technology in four years or so. will we then concentrate on making better software for awhile in the lull to to finding the technology for mass-producing the cores of our computational devices?
Debian unstable breaks things about every other day, even clobbering configuration files. I have one machine where I keep up with those annoyances, but quite frankly I'd feel sorry for anyone who wasn't a very experienced Linux admin to keep up with that hassle.
Mint 11 is based on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), that isn't new enough for you (excepting the GNOME 3 and Unity crap, of course, for which we are thankful)
You are speaking of the USA? I am not, several asian nations have more than one on international flights. it is not propaganda as I have several times seen them go into action with troublemakers (no, nothing as exciting as hijackings or terrorists) over the years.
not lock in at all, you can have IPV6 even if you move to ISP with only ipv4. I do it through a tunneling router to ipv6 provider (several do it for free and give you monstrous static ipv6 subnet), and I can saturate my adsl line with ipv6 traffic so no bottlenecks by tunnel. it's nice having static addresses even though my ipv4 connection is dynamic!
not really true, Hercules emulator can run Z/OS (and Z/VM and Z/VSE and Z/TPF) very nicely and with enough performance (200+ mainframe MIPS per core on high-end x86-64 processors) to do useful work on any x86 or x86-64 server including blades, but IBM normally doesn't allow that by license.
no, this is just a network attached x86-64 windows server, something that is quite common already. now they just have a blade for it and some software to manage the thing
it's just a way of having very high speed 10 gig net to a blade enclosure with Windows on a x86 blade (and also possibly AIX on another variant of the blades with PPC), also with software to manage windows and provide some services. People already run multi-tier architectures that include windows middleware or front ends as well as mainframes. not an uncommon scenario at all. Heck, I know of state goverment departments that run novell netware still that talk to mainframes
an HP 3000 is a "minicomputer" (in the jargon of the 70s to early 90s) that runs MPE/IX (somewhat unix-like). You just worked at a place where silly people called any server that wasn't a PC a "mainframe". I see that often in my job, manufacturing plants still running AS/400 and calling it a "mainframe", when it's just what was called at the time a "mid-range computer". I've seen Unix microcomputers and Vax called mainframes too, even DEC tried to advertise its big Vax 10000 as a "Vax mainframe", but of course it didn't have a mainframe architecture, had the same architecture as any other minicomputer.
also, the connection to the mainframe from the blade (the zbx with x86-64 processors) is 10 gigabit ethernet. Sure, there are all kinds of software to manage and provide special services such as db2 connectivety, but it's really no different than accessing some windows server over a network.
it is the case, things in.config.local and.X* can cause problems. I've seen this going from ubuntu to xubuntu, fedora GNOME to xfce, debian with gnome to xfce
