Redhat vs FreeBSD vs other unix flavors
Is there a recommended unix flavor for deploying Solr on? I've benchmarked my
deployment on Red Hat. Our operations team asked if we can use FreeBSD
instead. Assuming that my benchmark numbers are consistent on FreeBSD, is
there anything else I should watch out for?
Thanks.

I'm willing to be it'd be some flavor of Linux. We run on Gentoo. When
it comes down to it, I'd think your application server (Tomcat, Resin,
etc) would have more impact on Solr performance than the OS.
On that front, I'd bet that Tomcat 5 or 6 is the most commonly deployed.
Thanks for your time!

I would guess RHEL (red hat enterprise linux, or CentOS for the free version).
Ubuntu looks like it might come on strong, but RHEL has been in the
server space for ages.

Thanks Otis. Do you know what the most common deployment OS is? I couldn't
find much on the mailing list or http://wiki.apache.org/solr/PublicServers

There's dtrace on FreeBSD, too.

You should be fine on either Linux or FreeBSD (or any other UNIX flavour). Running on Solaris would probably give you access to goodness like dtrace, but you can live without it.
