The article mentions illumos--has anybody got any experiences to share with using that instead of BSD or nix?

Illumos is nix. Per wikipedia, "Illumos is a free and open-source Unix operating system. It derives from OpenSolaris, which in turn derives from UNIX System V R4 and Berkeley Software Distribution. "

When Oracle killed off OpenSolaris, Illumos came about.
