Well that's a little defeatist, isn't it? :)

ZFS runs happily on FreeBSD (yes, this is a linux list, yadda yadda), and
according to the vast majority of ZFS users, it's actually the preferred OS
to run it on. Granted, FreeBSD doesn't have as complete hardware support as
most Linux distros do, but it's *much* more approachable than Solaris.
