You can run Solaris apps in compat mode under OpenBSD ;-) zfs - no , but you can try real competitor from BSD world in this area - DragonflyBSD
zones - chroot of course, not same, but no one says that OpenBSD is good for everything virtualization - no until developers correct their buggy craps (VirtualBox,Wine and so on) You want to use your Sun Blade but in same time you want to use Solaris. Then you have big problem because of this http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#39 '........ Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.......' So you have option. Buy new hardware or use different OS where you have much more longer support for your HW. Funny that many people will choose first option. Some higher lines of Sun HW are very good because of many reasons when comparing to buggy i386/amd64 but if you need something like HA cluster or so then you must use Solaris/OpenSolaris, but if you want NFS server, web server and so on you can be very happy with OpenBSD or maybe another BSD. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
