I had a look at Splack.. but it looks seriously out of date (even the beta 10). It didn't really convince me to be honest =/

You may want to try this: http://www.splack.org/article.php/20040917110229258 and this http://www.splack.org/article.php/20041109025330161 it's not so outdated :P

If i can get the 2.6 kernel up and working on it, then i'll give it a try. Untill then, i'll fiddle around with Solaris.. =)

Thanks

EDIT

- Are there Solaris package websites? like linuxpackages.net ?

- I'm assuming compiling applications is the same 'compile make make install'.. And most of *nix software i can use in solaris too, like xfce, gaim, ...

- How easy is upgrading the system / software (eg, swaret, yum)

For free pkg's try http://www.sunfreeware.com/

For solaris patches/updates http://sunsolve.sun.com/

Enjoy!
