   The action is at illumos now. I'm on various IRC channels about Solaris,   
   Omni OS, and Open Indiana. They get way more traffic than Oracle   
   Solaris.   
      
   The default Omni OS install is about 300mb, which is quick to get up SSH   
   and a server or virtual machine environment. Open Indiana has a full   
   desktop w/Mate. I have it in bhyve in Omni OS. ZFS-on-root, zones,   
   crossbow, and bhyve are great. Unfortunately, the hardware support is no   
   where near what Linux has but if it runs for you it runs.   
      
   There's several other projects under the illumos umbrella.
