This article almost makes me want to try it. Anyone here have tried? I imagine its very outdated but stable. Can you even run modern stuff like Firefox and editors on that thing?

I'm currently playing with it in my home lab, specifically to re-familiarize myself with jails. It's always nice to be reminded just how stable and flexible it is. Also, its documentation is top notch. Having the handbook directly on their site is something I've yet to see matched by any other major OS.
