1. After I installed Solaris do I need to create ZFS ? I've read some info
and watched a video about ZFS it seems to be a good filesystem. Why doesn't
it come as a default FS then ?
Because there's an awful lot of work involved to make it the default.
This work covers multiple consolidations, and affects just about everything
you might want to consider when it comes to system admin. It's not something
which can happen overnight - even with immense efforts by the engineers
involved it still takes time.
2. How can I update a package or a program like firefox for instance ?
If you're using Solaris Express then pretty much each new build (eg, snv_60)
will contain an updated firefox. Otherwise you can go to mozilla.org or a
mirror site to download the package.
In order to get started with Solaris packages you should read through
the Solaris System Administration Guide at docs.sun.com.
You can also ask questions on the #opensolaris channel on the freenode
irc network.
