Way way OT.

Solaris 11 is a nightmare. A total freak show nightmare.

Given that I was on the OpenSolaris Governance Board then I think I can
safely say I have tried to work with it. Total disaster nightmare given
that there is no sparc hardware left to work with. None. All the old
stuff will run Solaris 10 but even with a support contract it is a
nightmare. Sorry, I know SunOS and Solaris all the way down to the
sources and just .... nope.  You don't get another second of my life.

John Fowler has left the building and all the great Solaris guys were
taken to the chemical shed and shot. Oracle Solaris is a dead product.

Good luck getting the userbase back. Oracle did *everything* to kill it.
