I have been using my mac mini for quite some time now but I’ve been wanting to play with OpenSolaris and see what ZFS and Zones can do for me, don’t require much hardware to do the actual testing but my mini didn’t seem that willing to play and I couldn’t be bothered.
Have not had the time to play much but OpenSolaris comes with ZFS as the default filesystem, nothing special to do to get going there, have not been playing with the interesting stuff as snapshots, raid-z etc yet.
Zones, have just gotten started there getting some base zones up and running and I must say getting started was almost too easy. Will see if I get some time to do some actual tweaking here soon.
In general I am satisified with the machine but it could have been a bit less noisy, it is not noisy, just a tiny bit more than my mac mini but until machines are 100% silent I will continue complaining.
