Problems: - SchilliX uses Bourne shell as /usr/bin/sh, not ksh93. This pretty much kills the option - SchilliX is completely out of sync with Illumos and there's no easy way to find a starting point. We've tried, we failed after investing a week of work. Most of that was wasted with getting SchillyX to compile.
