As long as your hardware is supported and you have enough RAM, it should run indeed "perfectly".

my laptop has : Intel Core Duo processor T2050(1.60GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache)

My friend told me that solaris take a long time to boot and shut down?

Use the Sun Device Detection Tool http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.jsp to check your hardware.

Boot and shutdown time depends on several factors including the number of services enabled.

Yes, you can install opensolaris, I admit using latest build 85:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thre...threadID=55433

Also for sound you can use great OSS framework/drivers from http://opensound.com

Just for a quick comparo. I just picked up a used Ultra 20 for testing recently.

For startup times, the order is (from fastest to slowest): Vista, OpenSolaris, XP Pro

Shutdown (once again, fastest to slowest): XP Pro, Vista, OpenSolaris

May vary on your hardware of course, but that's what I got with fresh installs and minimal enabled services on that piece of hardware.

hmmm... Sorry, I'm a noob. I don't understand what does "latest build 85" means... I got the "solaris express developer edition" by request on the solaris website. Can I install that DVD for to build a solaris High Availability cluster?

OpenSolaris community create a build (SXCE) every two weaks of a current state of the sources:

Code:
     (SXCE)      (SXCE)      (SXCE)      (SXCE)      (SXCE)      (SXCE)      (SXCE)
----build 79----build 80----build 81----build 82----build 83----build 84----build 85--
           \
            \
           SXDE
           1/08
a build is also called a Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE), once per 3 months Sun gets what want out of SXCE and create A Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE) that is avialable to download from Sun site and also for free shipment, and one for 6 months Sun create an update for their flagship Solaris 10, last time that happened was 8/07.
