Thanks Bob,
I know ARM is a popular platform, I keep holding back from exploring further as
every time I look into it, it seems that one of the distro's is close to having
a somewhat functional port.

I believe I have reposted this previously, but in case you haven't seen it,
here is one of the earliest post from Erik Trimble @ Sun announcing that
OpenSolaris/Indiana, then current at the time, had been successfully ported to
ARM.
Further study into this shows that there was also a special version of ZFS,
termed CZFS, that was optimized to function in low resource environments.
Illumos/OpenIndiana should only concern itself with 64-bit ARM, which does not
need to function in low resource environments. Supporting 64-bit ARM is a much
easier task than supporting 32-bit ARM, which has a plethora of variations.
