Last week, on my country's Liberation Day, Sun released OpenSolaris 2008.05, the much awaited first official fruit of Project Indiana. It delivers many of OpenSolaris' major features, such as DTrace, ZFS, containers, and more, in a Linux distribution-like package. The goal is to allow more people to experience Solaris. A few reviews have since hit the web.

Linux has that philosophy, and I think it is a good one. But what I keep hearing about ZFS is: "Don't use ZFS with less than 2GB of memory, or on 32 bit hardware. And if you do try it don't complain".
I find that shocking. I have used OpenSolaris 2008.05 and it performed just fine. But I have 2GB of RAM and 64 bit hardware. I would never have expected to have to worry about filesystem memory requirements, for the gods' sake!
