minix 3 might not be as battle tested as free/net/open-bsd or
archlinux.
Minix 3 I like idea, but short hardware list is tuff, and in terms of
reliablility software raid and trunking of 2+ nics into 1 virtual nic
on unixes I mentioned seem to help with hardware failing.  I am not
sure about solaris, but smartos and illumian are available free as
well.
