From my archaic (and by no means first hand) understanding of jails they are basically a docker alternative (long) long before Docker. They have been tried and tested probably arent 100% secure but damn near enough to be worthwhile. Jails is the main concept that interested me in BSD. I just dont want to deal with drivers. If I pop in an ISO I want things to work period. So I stick with Linux instead.

What kind of drivers? Pop an iso of what, where? I hardly can think of anything one could do with FreeBSD and Jails that would involve any 'drivers' - mind elaborating a bit?
I should of stepped back and explained, I'm on about installing the OS itself. If the road of entry is a nogo for me, I wont be able to try jails.
