As Ian suggested, definitely search the archives because this question has been asked many times. > Here is the vision: > -Solaris 10 running software RAID/ZFS2 managing 8 > drives at first with room for expansion > -I'm under the impression that ZFS2 is similar to > RAID6. > -Couple other smaller mount points on IDE > -All it needs to do is serve files to a windows > machine (SMB). If this was for my home server, I would go with Solaris Express or another OpenSolaris distribution just because I like to be closer to the cutting edge. For example, the new beta/experimental CIFS server was recently integrated into OpenSolaris. Typically, it would be some time before a feature like this finds its way into Solaris 10. You're going to get access to new ZFS features and improvements earlier too. Your choice here really depends on how conservative you want to be with the OS. I'm assuming you're familiar with the difference between OpenSolaris and Solaris 10.
