  • @fredrik999z or openSUSE. :-)

  • I have one. lol

  • my Sun Blade 2500 came with an XVR-100 wich was nothing more than an ATI Radeon 7000 I soon replaced it with a Sun XVR-1200. Check out my card swap video on my channel.

  • Love the Xeon but I'll keep my SPARC CPU's - hope Oracle doesn't kill SPARC ... eeek ...

  • That is not a bad processor.

  • yup thats true i luuuuuuuuurv solaris allooot but the darn thing has no support for ati graphics boards. Next workstation=nvidia graphics sorry ati but solaris works on nvidia

  • reduce power? urm that's just to save money, electricity is way to expensive. In the UK we have many Green power station that burn our rubbish in a catalyst burner to power our needs. price stays the darn same mind you, it don't go down because its our rubbish there using as a fuel lol. i thought it was crazy when we hit a kw power supply on a standard pc so yea more cost than anything. A kettle is 2kw and some pc's are close to that. kettle on 24x7 eek pricey, back to candle light

  • ZFS support isn't solaris specific. The BSD's support it, but they're also not license nazi's. (no offense, it's just how things are). OpenSolaris also isn't meant to be a Ubuntu competitor. Ubuntu is geared for a totally different market. OpenSolaris is designed to be a powerful workstation OS. It's not really designed to take over desktops everywhere like Ubuntu. At least not at this point. So comparing the two is asinine.

  • OpenSolaris has some interesting features, ZPS is really cool, but today Ubuntu is way better as an open source operating system. It is faster and has a lot more programs and hardware support.

  • Get Opensolaris...

    They'll even send a CD to your house for free.
