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.
