</div>OpenIndiana is the rebirth of OpenSolaris after Oracle bought Sun. I<br>
use it for tinkering (I work in a Solaris shop) but I've never used it<br>
for any real production work. Unless you NEED Solaris for some reason<br>
(dtrace has been previously discussed) there's little reason to switch<br>
from linux. ZFS is readily available in Debian, just install the<br>
zfs-fuse package and you can tinker with it. I prefer ZFS over<br>
mdraid/LVM because it seems to be more robust and much easier to<br>
manage. The downside, of course, is that it's closed source courtesy<br>
of Oracle so you have to assess your priorities. I run ZFS on my<br>
linux virtualization server and I think it's awesome, of course YMMV.<br>
<br>
I think it ROCKS that in the technology age we live in, is how easy it<br>
is to spin up a test machine and tinker. So, if you're thinking of<br>
trying something new... well, go for it!<br>
