They work great. I had six of these running in a zRaid on one system, and 
another three running in another for snapshot replication. I also have an Atom 
running another 64-bit OS fine (D240 I believe is the model). The atoms don't 
seem to have enough power to even move data from network to disk, though.

I recently tore down my opensolaris servers, and am using the hardware for 
other things. Companies  seem to be dumping it like it's on fire.. I Planned to 
use it as long as I could get the dev package repository (CIFS + iSCSI must be 
downloaded from the repository) so I could least install it. Then recently the 
rsync mirror disappeared.. Not a good sign.

I doubt that Oracle is going to maintain any commitment to opensolaris, and am 
anticipating this whole site will disappear in the near future. With Solaris 
limited to Oracle's own hardware now, I expect the "community" behind it to do 
so as well. The OS will fade into obscurity along with all of the other UNIX's 
that linux has killed.

So long Solaris, it's been fun.
