To be honest I am very confused by the many versions of solaris, and what they 
are.
Since I have your ear, can I veryify the following understanding, as well as 
tweek up my names, and add any "aliases"?

[1] Solaris 10 0807 or U4 would be the most stable, but the 
oldest/clunkiest/least-featured.

[2] Solaris Express Developer Edition (current) is well tested and while it may 
have its quirks, I should not be in danger of loosing data.

[3] Solaris Express Community Edition (AKA Nevada), since it comes out every 
other Friday, assume that while it might be great to play with, it probably has 
its moments, and depending on any given release without being on top of what is 
going on in the community would be pretty risky.

[4] Indiana is very early, and should not be used other than by people who want 
to play with a work in progress.  It will use the gnu userland, and in general 
have capabilities more like a Linux distribution.  It does not appear to show 
up anywhere yet.

Frank mentioned "Opensolaris".  I don't know what to relate these comments to 
on the 'download page'.  The thread might imply that since I installed SXDE 
that was not the live CD, that I did not install ZFS.... any might indicate the 
SXDE was NOT OpenSolaris.  I don't know what the LiveCD is...  BeleniX appears 
to be the only one listed as a "LiveCD", is this what you mean?  I appologize 
if I am being thick, but to me this is not at all clear.

Thanks for any help you can give me understanding!
