Solaris/Open Solaris. Why use it?

[Twitch6000]

It has a live CD mode, but imo it is a PITA to get it to work in Virtualbox.

Well if it has a LiveCd mode that's all I need .
Because after wine hits 1.2.0 I am almost 100% sure I can go full Linux.Then have Open Solaris as a dual boot >.>.
Unless ofcourse I get my new laptop before hand >.>.

Edit:
Well just got through giving it a try and at first I was like is this ubuntu LOL.

Then I started to fool around with it alot and figured out how different they were.
All and all I can say when I don't need windows anymore open solaris will be my dual boot .Until then I have it to fool around with and learn on.

Feel free to learn on the LiveCD, but a HD install is the best. And as far as anything I've tried, the stability of virtualization in OpenSolaris is awesome - That's where I have MY Windows installed. Good luck!
