[Tig] slightly OT: Solaris (ZFS etc.)

Well Bob Friesenhahn's recent remarks about Solaris' ZFS filesystem  
got me wanting to return to that OS after about a decade away, so I  
installed it on a MacBook Pro running Leopard, inside a virtual  
machine.  Not enough diskspace to do much with ZFS on a notebook, but  
it's nice to have so many options for windowing (X11 on OSX, X11 on  
Solaris, Java RTE on Solaris, Enlightenment WM on X11 on OSX, Aqua on  
OSX, .... there must be some I forget..)  I put a screenshot up at
http://tig.colorist.org/wiki3/index.php/Photo_albums
and am interested in sharing both Enlightenment configurations and  
Solaris tips with others, should anyone be interested.  (screenshot  
does not include Enlightenment)

Enlightenment is open source, Solaris is now OpenSolaris but not  
necessarily the version I'm running; X11 has always been open source,  
and Macintoshes are expensive.    I am not compensated by any of these  
entities mentioned.
