Any more details available on "too many other weird side effects"? I've loaded b101 on a box here and it's been idling for about a week or so. But I have yet to load it up with data. > This has a comparison (at the time) as to what the differences are > with the different Solaris versions: > http://blogs.sun.com/weber/entry/solaris_opensolaris_nevada_indiana_sxde That's too old to be useful. The bottom line is that SXCE is good for those who want access to the latest/greatest features and bugfixes - but each version will come with some "warts". If you know OpenSolaris well enough, you'll recognize those warts and either live with them or work around them. Or you'll discover that the reported issues don't affect what you are running (in terms of workload) on the box. OTOH - if you don't know OpenSolaris well enough, you're better off either picking an earlier release that has proven to have very few relevant warts - usually based on a recommendation for other, more experieced, users. Or you could go with the commercial, rock solid release called Solaris U6 (Update 6) recently released. In any case, load the release you choose, play with it for a week or so, while running the type of apps you intend to run and see if it works for you. After that, consider it "production" and load up all your precious data. Also - to add yet another dimension to the decision making process - os2008.11 is due out any day now. I think that this release will be a winner. You can download and eval the Release Candidate from http://www.genunix.org/ (based on 101a). The "production" release can't be far away..... To a large extent, os2008.nn will be a better long-term choice, since it incorporates the new package update facility. So you'll be able to upgrade any "problem" binaries very easily and with very little of something going very wrong. Choice is Good! :) Regards, -- Al Hopper Logical Approach Inc,Plano,TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 972.379.2133 Timezone: US CDT OpenSolaris Governing Board (OGB) Member - Apr 2005 to Mar 2007 http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ogb/ogb_2005-2007/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
