OpenSolaris 11.2008 with Windows Vista

I don’t blog much last couple of days (actually months 🙂 ) but this one I just had too. I run into one post on Dzone (link) which was about ZFS time machine in new solaris 11.2008 and I thought that its good time I’ll give it another shot. I had some really bad experiences using solaris/opensolaris in dual boot with Windows Vista and was a bit scared but I’m in SHOCK!!!!! I have a IBM Lenovo R61 laptop, created some additional space using Vista’s partitioner, put the live CD into the cd drive and voila!!!
No problems with wireless (I have to say that it works better than on ubuntu so far), no problems with dual booting either, it was just working straight away, no manual editing of the grub file, nothing, nada, zero, PERFECT!!!
It seems actually much faster (maybe it’s my new laptop who knows).
Guys at Open Solaris — keep up the good work, thanks!
