...I don't know much about our Solaris zone, so could someone fill me in on it a bit?...
I haven't seen Solr's zone yet, but basically zones are Solaris (virtual) machines where some of us can get root access, so we can install anything there as long as it plays nice with other zones in terms of CPU and memory usage. Currently all of the ASF's zones are sharing a - fairly powerful - physical machine. For example, the Cocoon zone at http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/ runs live demos of Cocoon pulled automatically out of SVN every few hours by crontab scripts, the Continuum continuous integration server, and the Daisy CMS for editing docs. There's more info at http://www.apache.org/dev/solaris-zones.html HTH, -Bertrand
