Move from Solaris: ARM 64 Bit

Hey all

I've been thinking of switching my x86 Solaris out with ARM 64 Bit and FreeBSD.
Now i know i can migrate my striped-mirror ZFS to FreeBSD.

So to get to the point.
I take advantage of Kernel Zones on Solaris (Routing, Firewall, Web Access and Web Page etc.) and from time to time need access to Windows Server VM.
But Solaris doesn't support ARM hardware (and probably won't).

I'll be replacing both server and Workstation.
I haven't used FreeBSD before, but guessing it won't be fundamentally different.
I know Solaris is maintained by Oracle but does that mean FreeBSD isn't as "polished"?
And can i get same functionality with FreeBSD as i currently have with Solaris?

I'm a fairly adaquate C/C++ programmer, will it be rather difficult to customize the kernel to only support my current hardware?
If so, are there any "industry secret" guide on how to do it?

Cheers

Bit::Vector::Minimal(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Bit::Vector::Minimal(3pm)

NAME
Bit::Vector::Minimal - Object-oriented wrapper around vec() SYNOPSIS
use Bit::Vector::Minimal; my $vec = Bit::Vector->new(size => 8, width => 1, endianness => "little"); # These are the defaults $vec->set(1); # $vec's internal vector now looks like "00000010" $vec->get(3); # 0 DESCRIPTION
This is a much simplified, lightweight version of Bit::Vector, and wraps Perl's (sometimes confusing) "vec" function in an object-oriented abstraction. METHODS
new Creates a new bit vector. By default, this creates a one-byte vector with 8 one-bit "slots", with bit zero on the right of the bit pattern. These settings can be changed by passing parameters to the constructor: "size" will alter the size in bits of the vector; "width" will alter the width of the slots. The module will die if "width" is not an integer divisor of "size". "endianness" controls whether the zeroth place is on the right or the left of the bit vector. set(POS[, VALUE]) Sets the bit or slot at position "POS" to value "VALUE" or "all bits on" if "VALUE" is not given. get(POS) Returns the bit or slot at position "POS". display Display the vector. For debugging purposes. AUTHOR
