I successfully installed *Open* Solaris under VMWare recently. It wasn't
excruciatingly slow, but I did find it generally uninspiring. Apparently
it (along with Java) are going GPL soon, so there's a good chance it'll
catch up to Linux WRT drivers etc. As for Slowlaris' alleged slowness,
even that may improve now that more GPL devs will be encouraged to
contribute.
