The future of OpenSolaris looks highly uncertain at present, indeed. Among the BSD distributions, FreeBSD is the general purpose distribution, and the rest are special distributions for users with specific demands. It seems you will benefit most from FreeBSD given its wide userbase. We never have had any hardware issues with FreeBSD, but perhaps it is good to mention that we are not experienced in setting up wireless connections, which may be a requirement. Sometimes there is some unexpected behavior in automounting usb drives.

cr_cansee
CR_CANSEE(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual CR_CANSEE(9)
NAME
cr_cansee -- determine visibility of objects given their user credentials
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>
#include <sys/ucred.h>
int
cr_cansee(struct ucred *u1, struct ucred *u2);
DESCRIPTION
This function determines the visibility of objects in the kernel based on the real user IDs and group IDs in the credentials u1 and u2 asso-
ciated with them.
The visibility of objects is influenced by the sysctl(8) variables security.bsd.see_other_gids and security.bsd.see_other_uids, as per the
description in cr_seeothergids(9) and cr_seeotheruids(9) respectively.
RETURN VALUES
This function returns zero if the object with credential u1 can ``see'' the object with credential u2, or ESRCH otherwise.
ERRORS
[ESRCH] The object with credential u1 cannot ``see'' the object with credential u2.
[ESRCH] The object with credential u1 has been jailed and the object with credential u2 does not belong to the same jail as u1.
[ESRCH] The MAC subsystem denied visibility.
