Sam,
I don't bother with Solaris since Oracle closed the source. Instead I
use the open-sourced branch for the kernel called Illumos which is being
developed by the upstream commercial distros as well as other contributors.
There are three main distributions for x86 platforms.

That's good to know, thanks for posting that info. I'm always amazed to hear
people still use Solaris any more... I endured it a few years ago because ZFS
was worth the pain, but finally had to abandon it because it was impossible to
get security updates without an enterprise contract.
