I'm pleased that this article buries the Dtrace functionality towards the bottom. Before this post, the Node.js post on profiling (http://blog.nodejs.org/2012/04/25/profiling-node-js/) was the most referenced piece on the topic - unfortunately Dtrace doesn't look like its ever going to run on Linux so I've been left in the dark.

Given that dtrace and ZFS are both available on FreeBSD, what are the reasons for choosing to deploy Linux instead? It's not like the GUI or driver support matter on a server.
