Recently I couldn&apos;t find the cli utility to manage a raid card because the ports system had an out of date location for the source. I was reduced to shutting down a production server just to flip some configuration bits. Freebsd is absolutely rock solid as an OS. The support from certain hardware vendors is a different story.</text></comment>

Power management, suspend, wireless and such? As an X desktop is it in the same league as fedora/opensuse when running KDE?</text></comment>
