The vast majority of operating system reviews are the result of a user spending a few days or weeks using a particular operating system and writing about their observations. This review is the result of my continued use of Solaris 10 (previously Solaris Express) from August 2003 to February 2005.

I installed Soll1+ EA (I think it was build 72) on a Sun Blade 150. I was very surprised at how snappy it felt. I am mostly interested in the Solaris Volume Manager and NFS performance, and while I didn't benchmark it, the system just felt much more repsonsive and fast than with Solaris 9. Maybe it's the rewritten TCP/IP stack.
I'm sad to say, though, this review is lacking: no mention of DTrace or Zones? I find that odd. However, the mirroring of the rootdisk during jumpstart is a nice touch! Thank you!
