[ILUG] [OT] any ILUGers playing with OpenSolaris?

Apologies in advance for being slightly off-topic here, but it is vaguely 
related to Linux.

I am interested in hearing if any other ILUGers have played at all with 
OpenSolaris, and if so, what your impressions of it are - and particularly 
have you hit any gotcha's in using it for a long-time Linux user.

Having installed it on an old PowerEdge as an experiment, I can honestly 
say the PowerEdge/OpenSolaris combo will probably replace my 
Netgear/Infrant ReadyNAS (Debian/SPARC box) as my primary fileserver.

I am absolutely blown away by the design, feautres and functionality of 
ZFS - for me, it is an absolute game changer, and the sooner Linux gets 
something comparable in btrfs the better!
