I just added a second disk to my development workstation, which has Vista all over a SATA disk.

I've added a 750gig SATA drive and would like to multi-boot Open Solaris and Linux - and ideally FreeBSD.

Is there an order I need to do things in?

I have the OpenSolaris 'Starter Kit' and also the Sol10 6/06 DVDs. I last tried the 6/06 setup in a VMWare system, but now I'm looking for something I can use to test SMP performance of some C++ code.

I'm tempted to download the latest Bellinix or Nexenta and start from there, but I'm slightly concerned about keeping up to date with kernels and libc if I stray too far from a vanilla install. Is there anything to be gained or lost one way or another?

The system has an Asrock board with integrated Intel 845G adapter, so I'd like something that's happy with that at 1920*1200.

James
