So basically the situation is that people prefer to switch the whole OS as opposed to applying a kernel patch?
Logical or otherwise, people _do_ this. I know plenty of people who install linux or Redhat from the CD -- they never build their own kernels, etc. It's not something they would consider; they like the 'shrink-wrap' stuff (sans security updates).
I don't know where Linux NFS is at right now; but in the past I've tested it and it was pretty terrible compared to freebsd )I forget what version) and solaris. The servers are NetApps if that matters.
