Or just start with just SmartOS and http://datasets.at
SmartOS is quite easy to learn, you can always search for Solaris and the things you want, because there is great similarity. (although some specifics are completely different) But I have servers running 25 SmartOS zones on HP G7 servers without problems, even mixed with ubuntu and other linux zones. RAM memory is a break point for installing more zones, so try to use hardware that has possibilities to increase RAM al low costs. Main problem with GUI's is that they will make your life easier until a certain point and then you need to dive into the commandline. And since you always used the GUI you are not familiar with the commandline commands and then the learning curve is a steep hill to climb. Especially because the moment you need to dive in is in error situations where you have little time to learn. Biggest fun I had was last year when Microsoft announced their nano servers. It is a copy of the solaris / SmartOS idea and the containerized way of handling virtual machines was the reason I started using solaris 10 years ago. We run SmartOS on HP and DELL server hardware, but also on micro PC's with IntelR AtomT E3845 1.91GHz SoC CPU. It had 2 zones, 1 with MySQL and the other with a JAVA webserver and OpenJDK8 which ran very nice. This micro PC was a test, but was quite impressive to see the performance. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Arne Hoffmann [mailto:a...@fish.in-berlin.de] Verzonden: vrijdag 4 augustus 2017 21:46 Aan: smartos-discuss@lists.smartos.org Onderwerp: Re: [smartos-discuss] Newbie to SmartOS Toens Bueker wrote: > Michael Cooper <mcoo...@coopfire.com> wrote: > > Very New to SmartOS so far I really like it very much.

He might also want to look into Fifo [1]. Has some advantages and disadvantages.
