Hi there, at the weekend i installed OpenSolaris 2009.06 on an AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+ with 1GB DDR Ram. I wanted to try virtualization with VirtualBox. But i there where some things i really dont like, maybe you can help me to understand why it is and when it will work
1. Why uses OpenSolaris 95% of Ram directly after install (By the way same machine other OS takes 30%) 2. What about LVM and ext2,3,4 Support? I t would look better if i could use my old linux storage discs by just plugging them in. 3. Why does the boot of the System takes so long? I could drink a coffee. I mean the mashine isnt that slow. 4. Why doenst <Alt>+<F1> switch to an console? Or better question... Where is the console? After all. I really like Solaris. But this 4 Points make it a bit bad. Point 2 is the biggest problem. First i could solve by buying ram which isnt expencive, but my storage data would be necessary. Copying 400GB Data just takes too long, even when i must insert it into a different machine to make scp or so.
