I think FreeBSD boxes are generally used as perimeter boxes by most sys admins because of their reliability, therefore compatibility with virtualized environments is not a priority.
- sophacles 16y agoWe once had some sort of explosion regarding mail-servers at a company I worked for. I have no idea, what the actual problem was, other than too much incoming mail combined with some settings goof. The mail server software ended up eating memory and cpu cycles like crazy. This was on a FreeBSD box. I remember the sysadmin saying "You know, linux would have just OOM-killed it at this point, but its a BSD box so it's doing the right damn thing". Ever since then I've carried around this idea that BSD is stable to a fault :)
