Has anybody switched from a Linux distro to OpenSolaris as their main OS? Experiences? I'm contemplating it...

- rbanffy 17y agoMy worst complaint was it uses an outdated version of Gnome. OpenSolaris could have a tiered repository structure analog to Debian's stable/testing/experimental/unstable. If you want a life without surprises, you run "OpenSolaris boring". If you are a little more brave, you go with "OS risky" and if you like a life of adventures (and of fixing your computer) you could go with "OS adventurous". You can also have a final version, "OpenSolaris bleeding" with all software rebuilt from the newest sources every other day with no assurances beyond "it compiles". BTW, I used to call Debian testing "works, mostly" and unstable "should compile".
