For the record there are at least 2 distros that carry the Mandriva/Mandrake legacy. Besides OpenMandriva there is also Mageia which I believe is the more popular option.
I am a BSD user yet I think this is largely irrelevant in the scope of a NAS which is the conversation we have here. Even in the cases bleeding edge hardware support is relevant, the latest Linux LTS kernel has probably wider hardware support than the freebsd-current at any given point in time anyway.
FreeBSD is a great choice, but there is no need to invent silly reasons to justify using it.

How are they still doing 5 billions in revenue per quarter? Are Xbox and games still sold? In my area they seem to have disappeared from the physical stores alley. I realized that a few weeks ago there were Playstation and Nintendo products in the video game area but no Xbox anything.
They don't need to because it is just a PoC and I don't think it hs been said anywhere that soloar panel between rain tracks would be the unique source of energy.
There are also a lot of vertical sound proofing barriers that could be equipped with panels.

I guess it is easier to control the deployment since they own the railroads.
Yes, comparatively to a lot of stuff (like food for example), internet connectivity is cheap in Switzerland.
To take 2 countries where I have been living in the last 10 years, if you compare internet prices and average income in Switzerland and Spain, Swiss citizens end up in a favorable situation compared to Spanish ones.
