#2Out of curiosity, does anyone here use OpenSolaris for anything?

#3Why do they need a blessing from Oracle though? "If you don't like it - fork it" doesn't apply here? Licensing issues?

#4I'd love to have a lively discussion here about OpenSolaris, could not upvote this enough (actually I don't think my upvote counts at all, is that because I don't have karma yet?)

I do, our webservers run it. ZFS with automatic snapshots has saved my ass quite a few times already.
Sending incremental snapshots (for backups) to offsite location (another OpenSolaris machine) is also easy and efficient.
But, if linux had ZFS i'd probably use that instead.

FreeBSD has ZFS too. We've been seeing a lot of people migrating from OpenSolaris over the past few months due to Oracle.

Could you clear something up for me? If ZFS is so highly coveted (which I've inferred from recent discussions), why doesn't every operating system under the sun support it?

Exactly. The Sun Community License.
