Sun Microsystems makes new releases of Solaris about every four to six months, in many cases all the new release contains is bug fixes and some changes in functionality. More often than not most releases go by without a great deal of fanfare. Just as Solaris 10 3/05 broke new ground with Zones, Dtrace and the Service Management Facility. Solaris 10 6/06 introduces ZFS or Zettabyte File System and the SATA framework and Xorg 6.9, which will be the primary focus of this review.

Actually what I should have said was that an enthusiast will buy a motherboard or an expansion card with a Silicon Image controller logic before they spend the money on an LSI (or similar high-end) card.
The administrator is of course going to spend big bucks on the LSI (or similar) card. But if Sun is truly trying to get home hobbyists and users interested in Solaris, then Sun is going to have to make some compromizes on what hardware they intend to support.
