It seems like a very Free Software friendly version of Solaris. It has lots of great features such as :
- ZFS
- DTrace
- Xen
- IPS (Package Management System)
- LiveCD
I tried the LiveCD on my R61i laptop and it worked well. I'm going to run OpenSolaris in 64-bit mode as my main desktop environment at work, DTrace and ZFS sound extremly useful.
