Has anyone checked out... Open Solaris?

[N1LAF]

I would need an OS/2 disk or ISO file, I'd give it a try.

Just installed VMware for Solaris, installer friendly and works great. I do find Solaris a little sluggish, but I wouldn't hesitate to make a partition dedicated for Solaris and multi boot it.
To do what I am doing, you need a USB hard drive to keep baseline libraries... better yet, External SATA....

Solaris would be a big sluggish on a VM, because it doesn't play nicely with non-Sun VM's (a la IBM's LPARs). If you really need performance from a virtualized instance of Solaris, it's better to be run it on Big Iron.

Also, for OpenSolaris, I think there is an alternative kernel for virtual instances...
