"We have now reached the Release Candidate stage of the FreeBSD 6.2 release cycle. A few significant problems had been discovered during the initial BETA testing and those issues should now be fixed. RC1 is the first of two planned Release Candidate builds. If no more significant problems are reported 6.2-RELEASE builds will be done after RC2."

You mean Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris?
Nexenta is now more of a hybrid GNU and Solaris operating system. It now contains a GNU userland but optionally can have Solaris userland tools as well.
I might just buy a Nvidia card and switch to it from SUSE once the stable version is released.
We'll see.

Sorry, I meant the Solaris Express; I'd prefer using the complete Solaris system rather than a franktenstein fusion of GNU and Solaris, compiled by many different compilers - they reason for using Solaris is the degree of consistancy, and using GNU user space, you've thrown that benefit out he window.

I've since had a look on the OpenSolaris website; it appears there is an issue with the NDIS implementation which stops one from using the NDIS drivers with OpenSolaris - hopeing that Sun get this corrected in a timely manner, this will be merged back into FreeBSD's version of NDIS.
With that being said, if OpenSolaris get their act together and release one in a timely manner, it will win be over going to FreeBSD - which is ashame give that I have a soft sport for FreeBSD and the ports system (which is lacking in OpenSolaris).
