Hi,
sorry for the delay and thanks a lot for the answers.
They were slightly overwhelming, I've to say ;-)
I'll try to sort out what I understood
(please correct me if I'm wrong):
1) the Free CD is a live CD, not for installation
- it is possibly still x86-only
(oh well, should it arrive, I could use it on a x86 box, too)
No, it's a Live CD and an install CD. However, you can only use it for
gui-based installations, and you can't yet get one for SPARC.
I had been planning (as I use to do with Linux) to start from a basic minimal
system and try adding as much software as possible, but not too much. (I think
I read somewhere that you could run the XFCE desktop on Opensolaris, for
example.) So I gather ZFS is actually replacing UFS and you cannot choose the
latter instead?
Yes, zfs is replacing ufs, and you cannot choose ufs when installing
OpenSolaris 2008.x or 2009.x.
