It can be seen as a developer version of Solaris, supporting newer hardware and software. It is easier to install and use on desktops than Solaris. | * [[http://www.opensolaris.org|{{http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/buttons/innomat_os_blk_180.gif|OpenSolaris: Innovation Matters}}]]: this version is less stable and hence more up-to-date.

| + | | Solaris 10 | Ok | Very stable, but beware patches: I once got my system in a bad situation because a buggy patch would not install ! | Small, but people are helpful | Limited | ZFS is supported. ZFS boot is integrated in the install of Solaris 10 u6 | Fast and reliable | | ||
| + | | OpenSolaris 2008.11 | Easy | I have had no crash so far | Good and helpful | Good, though my Wacom tablet remains unsupported | ZFS and ZFS boot are integrated to OpenSolaris. ZFS snapshots are great | I encounter a few lags but I haven't found their origin yet | | ||
