I use OpenSolaris rev 0.85  on a older E4000 production system that does
nameserving, mail & data storage, backup ...etc. the only drawback is
that when you want to update the system you have to reinstall the system
...this was fixed in rev 0.95 so this issue should be out of the way by
now. havent tried any newer builds yet waiting for the OpenSolaris
2008.11  sparc  release to  be out.
