I did a long time ago.  Truth be told the tenor and tone of my
question is unfair.  While on the one hand I want to say that "I eat
my own dog food" I really would prefer a nice prime rib steak.  :-)

But this is OpenSolaris and you need to expect that someone, somewhere
outside of Sun would take the giant leap and just throw themselves
onto the absolute latest and see what happens.  I can tell you that I
installed a Solaris 10 GA release server on x86 ( dual Athlon Appro
grey box ) for someone shotly after Solaris 10 GA released.  Its been
a while and that box has been running Lotus Domino 5.0.10 for Solaris
x86 with a pile of large databases on it and it has never had a
hiccup.  Not one issue since .. let me check ..

$ uname -a
SunOS dom03 5.10 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc

$ last | tail -4
reboot    system down                   Tue Feb 22 16:52
reboot    system boot                   Tue Feb 22 16:52

wtmp begins Tue Feb 22 16:52

I know there was a power failure and at least one rack move since Feb 2005.

So there is a box that will get patched when I get a reason to patch
it.  It just runs and runs and I know I know, that was a GA release. 
Its not beta.  Its not even Solaris Express.  Its GA.  It just does
what it does.

Really, I should just wait for the ZFS ship date like everyone else I guess.

Dennis
