is it default or de facto? is it robust with lots of well-tested packages? is it easy-to-use?

I think most ppl under-estimate the value of packag managment. I think that's the reasonwhy Linux is more popular on the desktopthan *BSD. And the desktop BSDs don't cut it since they seem to be focussing on the desktop itself whereas you need a solution to scale UP and _DOWN_.

That said if I could get most of my applications tested and easily installable on Solars I'd love to try it.

What the hell are you talking about? BSD package management has always been superior to anything available on Linux.
