i don't really know what i've seen. i've installed latest solaris demo
downloaded from oracle. After nearly an hour of installation over which i
had really no control and no real clue what's going on i finally after
over 5 minutes got the system booted, logged as root and tried to
understand the /etc tree, boot process and gave up really quickly.
just seeing a files and directories (both numerous) of just a kernel
binaries was truly enough.
Now... lets go back to FreeBSD which is controllable and understandable
by a human.
