HAL? I’m using Fluxbox and manually mount/dismount usb drives without any problems.

>ZFS is mostly unstable (or at least not as stable as UFS), especially under low memory conditions, on both i386 and amd64

It’s not even really stable in Solaris.

>java doesn’t work stable with some applications (tomcat sometimes crashes)

Did have problems with Java to some extent in FBSD 6.x too.

But there are e.g. some problems with Wifi, especially WPA encryption. Using it together with if_rum will panic the kernel (see the ML). Together with if_ral it will lead to lost connections. Furthermore it’s not possible to read a single UDF formated DVD-RAM (whether it’s from MacOS, Windows or Linux).

It’s of course stable enough for daily use, but sometimes it’s just PITA too apart from server use. It really depends on your application at home or at work.
