Not sure I'd put it quite that way, but close to that. I suspect Indiana _is_ aiming at the desktop, and ease of use for those installing perhaps just one system, where historically Solaris has been perceived by some as weak. That's not to say that the underlying OS isn't pretty much the same as

I've been running now for some time Solaris 10, SXDE and OpenSolaris on two completely different desktop computers. They all perform extremely well. If you really want to have something rock solid then I would go for Solaris 10: extremely stable and fast. Generally for all Solaris distros

When it comes to application development based on open source products I'll give FreeBSD the edge. Installing and maintaining postgresql, apache, (ruby on) rails, php, ImageMagick etc. from FreeBSD's ports-collection is very easy, trying to get ImageMagick later than 6.3.0 on solaris on x86

IBM xSeries 346 with added ServeRAID-7k ZCR controller. No driver on the support CDs (v7, v9). SUN won't support that controller legitimately saying it's hardware mfg concern. IBM won't support saying 346 was never tested neither certified for Solaris. Go figure. Now I know there is a driver

[osol-discuss] Poor disk performance (nForce4 board)

I grabbed OpenSolaris 2008.05 to see if disk performance had gotten any better since my last try, which was Solaris 10 (8/07 IIRC). It had, but still not good enough. I have four disks, three IDE and one SATA. My highly scientific benchmark was: dd if=/dev/... of=/dev/null bs=128k count=4000
