That is different window managers on on parts of a multiheaded gui console? Didn’t know that this works, sounds strange to me. > ZFS filesystem so, well, yes, OI comes with zfs and as I remember, I imported old Solaris 10 pools, but that was some time ago. I recomend that you test that on a test installation for yourself and share your findings > must be stable long term hm, well, that could be a problem, better stay current and isolate those apps you desperatly need and that demand for old OS versions, virtualised in containers. I run my SunRay environment that way, have it setup in a Solaris 10 virtual instance, it serves the still operating SunRay DTUs in kiosk mode. You may use SmartOS as a virtualizer and setup OI instances and instances with other/older OSes as you need them for your applications. Depends a bit on your needs and the compute power and memory of your systems Still I need some time to test the new Firefox for OI, maybe over the easter weekend. It would be great since most stuff needed here is a webbrowser.
