What do you guys think about FreeBSD?

I like it, for the most part. Obviously you need to check to see if your hardware is supported, but it's a good OS. It's stable, has neat features like boot environments, and it with pkg and the ports tree you can have newer versions of software. Also, they don't make changes to the OS for the sake of it, or because one person or group wants it. They make change with a clear plan in my mind. Sometimes that means features land later in FreeBSD, but they're implemented more thoughtfully imo.

OpenBSD and NetBSD are also cool projects in their own right.

btrfs and snapshots is one solution

Also, it looks like you were able to solve the problem, even if you aren't 100% sure why. Maybe the difference in package versions lead to some problem with the bootloader, causing it to go to emergency mode, and updating it fixed the problem?

Another is using a more stable distro....
