Stable, well designed, full featured Unix with a stable API.
And a miserable package-management. No. This won't do. If you don't need ZFS you're way better off with any Linux which has some kind of package-management.
With one or two machines you might use any UNIX-ish OS, *BSD, MacOSX, Solaris, Slackware Linux, whatever, it doesn't really matter. But as soon as you're running _lots_ of machines you're practically screwed without a decent package-management. And then you'll want dpkg, or at least rpm.
