Yes, LDoms support first was integrated into snv_41 (although I wouldn't recommend using it these days :-) A lot of features and fixes have been integrated in the 40 builds since then) Although there is not a 1:1 mapping between Nevada builds and the contents of S10 Update Releases, here is a rough list of what is equivalent between the two. Not all bugs that went into Nevada in a build listed below necessarily made it to the listed S10 release. snv_41: LDoms code integrated into OpenSolaris snv_50: S10U3 snv_57: LDoms 1.0 (which was S10U3 plus some patches) snv_67: S10U4 Personally, I'd strongly recommend not using any Nevada/OpenSolaris build earlier than snv_70b (aka SXDE 9/07). Use snv_79 or greater if possible. > I also tried out a few other OS's that support the sun4v platform and found > that Ubuntu Linux 7.10 works.

I also found that the FreeBSD > port to sun4v is rather stale:( LDoms support went into the 2.6.23 kernel (see http://www.fabbione.net/blog/ for example). I'm not certain what other Linux distributions have this kernel revision but I think Gentoo also supports LDoms. -- Liam
