I installed FreeBSD a couple weeks back just so I could play around with ports and ZFS. Getting ZFS to work with the bootloader is kind of a pain (should be fixed in FreeBSD-9, I'm hoping) but otherwise I was blown away by just how intuitive ZFS is to use and how ridiculously powerful. ZFS was introduced in 2005(!) and I'm still amazed by how far ahead of the pack it is. It's really a damn shame that we can't get ZFS into the Linux kernel because of licensing.

if you feel like playing around with filesystems, try dragonflybsd (http://www.dragonflybsd.org/ http://www.dragonflybsd.org/). it has some neat things like its unique hammer filesystem and virtual kernels.
