To be fair, although the OpenSolaris venture was originally set up by
Sun, it is not staffed nor operated by Sun (although Sun has input).  I
use Sun Solaris 10 on my main server and I haven't had any problems with
it, but I've heard many reports thaqt code from the OpenSolaris project
is of ... shall we say, dubious stability.  OpenSolaris is widely
considered not ready for production.
