OpenSolaris is not yet ready for production servers though i.m.h.o. nor is nevada_b90 with the ability to boot off ZFS root. Production servers need to be well (no thoroughly) tested ;-) The best stable (production) server with ZFS is solaris-10u5 If you want to boot off ZFS, S10u6 will support that. But these versions too need lots of ram. I think fbsd has a lighter footprint. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxde 01/08 ++
