how stable is hipster these days? Stable enough to run a LAN server
with a couple of Virtualbox VM's on it?
Honestly, I don't know :)
Usually if something is broken, it's desktop-related soft (as it's
harder to test thoroughly). I think that in the nearest future Sun DHCP
server will be removed from illumos-gate (and our users will immediately
see this).
I run several test VMs and VMs which I use in my courses (VirtualBox,
VMware and KVM guests, but no OI host). There was no anything completely
catastrophic. However, sometimes some issues appear (don't know if /dev
has them). I think, you can try. Note, that dev => hipster updates are
not supported now. The best way to install is to use install CDs:
