Solaris may be rock solid, but it doesn't by far support the necessary breadth of current hardware. My desktop system has an Intel motherboard with an onboard Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) plus a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) Ethernet controller. None of them is currently supported, let alone the Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01) wireless interface.
I have installed Osol on my laptop, on a USB external disk as nr. 4 of my multiboot environment, but it is not up to par with the other OSes I use.
