Has anyone tried, or is anyone currently using SmartOS?
In the past before Oracle eliminated OpenSolaris, that is what I was using, then looked at FreeBSD Jails and ultimately settled on OpenBSD. Since I will be adding a couple of domains I decided it is time to move off my old OpenBSD server onto something else. OpenIndiana is a ghost project now and I've looked at OmniOS which allows KVM. I am also testing FreeBSD again.
Then I remembered SmartOS. I have it installed currently and have created a Zone and installed pkgsrc, which I am used to (and like) because I also presently run NetBSD. So I am curious if anyone else has opinions on using it or any tips, such as, upgrades, etc.
