OT but since I like ZFS, check out illumos. It is the "base" that all post-opensolaris distros are using (nexenta, etc). Nexenta 4 will be all illumos based, renamed as Illumian, debian apt-get style distro. illumian is apt-get with debian userland, and opensolaris kernel. Nexenta has an interesting "community edition" which is free up to 18TB. And if you like people bitching at oracle, start at the 33:00 part. The whole thing is an interesting history about solaris and even a little about sunos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
