For a personal project, I decided I’d do some work with Open Solaris and use its popular Zones project in combination with ZFS. I’ve gotta say, there’s been a considerable amount of work in re-doing the installer for SXDE (Solaris Express Development Edition). It’s been a while since I’ve done much with Solaris outside of a quick SAMP build on one of the test Fire T2000 servers we’ve got at work.

The DVD x86 install is almost complete and I’m getting ready to play. I plan on documenting my journey with Zones and ZFS so keep up if you’re interested in using Solaris for virtualization and shared file systems. I’ve been looking for an open source project to contribute to for a while now and Zones seems like it hits home. Exciting.
