I am too am running SXCE and nervous about changing to Opensolaris. I
knew it would happen someday. No matter what day, week, month or year
for changing, it will always be wrong for somebody. So now I have some
planning and research to do for changing over. I've done it before when
changing whole computers from old ones to new ones, it can be done, just
with a lot of work.
On the good side, Sun said they will provide some scripts to aid in the
change trying to make it like an upgrade. I'm waiting to see these, I
hope there will be something to bring UFS over to ZFS (if ample space is
required and met) as a utility. I'm not going to panic, it will work
out in the long run.
A side from Suns scripts, I'm going to copy my whole "Home" directory,
print out all installed software (packages and tarred). This will
hopefully get me to where I am now with SXCE.
If you also have the money (as I will do this also if it cannot be done
as an upgrade), is purchase another hard drive to do the install onto,
then mount the original drive. From here you can copy any programs you
missed, especially one installed not from packages.
So to answer you, no I don't think it as a monumental disaster, just
some extra work.
