The big one is that there's a pretty good chance FBSD will run on your hardware, and there's a really slim chance that OpenSolaris will. Solaris just doesn't have the driver selection that BSDs or Linux have.
- rbanffy 17y agoI can't confirm your observation. I have thrown OSol on many notebooks and it found stuff out-of-the-box my Linux installs didn't. Oddly enough, the Broadcom wireless one of them uses had problems, but that's about all the problems I had (and that Broadcom was a source of grief for a long time under Linux). It sure doesn't seem pickier than Linux or BSD.
