How does OpenSolaris, Sun's effort to free its big-iron OS, fare from a Linux user's point of view? Is it merely a passable curiosity right now, or is it truly worth installing? Linux Format takes OpenSolaris for a test drive, examining the similarities and differences to a typical Linux distro.

I'm not a UNIX expert (though I have been running FreeBSD and a few flavours of Linux* such as Slackware and Arch) so I'm a little confused by the different licences and builds of the different Solaris projects going on at the moment.
Basically I wan't a monitor-less install of Solaris for it's ZFS support**. what projects would you recommend for a n00b like myself?
* Granted Linux isn't UNIX
** I'm a little put off by FreeBSD in this instance due to it only being experimental support.
