Preview question: NB, I am considering some flavor of Solaris for my future fileserver,
Be careful Carey. I briefly installed and experimented with OpenSolaris somewhere around 2005. It was very nice except for one thing: It was sloooowwwwww. I don't mean 10% slower than Linux. I mean annoyingly, frustratingly, hair tearingly slow. Slower than windows. Slower than CPM on my Kaypro 2x with 64K RAM and dual floppies. Of course, almost 2 decades have passed, and it's possible, perhaps likely, that today's OpenIndiana doesn't have this speed problem. But be sure to check for speed problems early in your evaluation.
