Hello Sing,
FreeBSD is a Unix styled operating system. It also has many database
applications available for installation. FreeBSD is often used to run databases
because it is very fast, arguably the fastest operating system freely
available. Many large web sites and datacenters use FreeBSD as their operating
system.
Looks like a great option but it you analize closer, it doesnt provide a
native Oracle version. You cann't hire support contract for FreeBSD, it
doesnt provide any warranty, so it is not a good option for core banking,
for example.
I think that Solaris 10 is quite a option nowadays.
My .99 cents.
If you search google for "freebsd support"
(without quotes) this is one of the first
links and there are other, so what you
said is not correct.

There are other databases elsewere with support
(paid support) for your favorite OS. Don't forget
that if there is a market, you will find a supplier.
