TL;DR: [REQUEST]: Illumos/Tribblix SPARC and x86_64 Editions: "Open Source Solaris" - modern replacements to the Solaris9 legacy image. Tribblix SPARC link
Requesting modern Illumos kernel distrubutions such as Tribblix, OpenIndiana, OmniOS.
Tribblix maintains a lot of legacy Solaris features, OpenIndiana is a desktop and a server, OmniOS is headless but you can add a GUI.
Solaris 9 is on here which is cool... but it does not compare to using a modern Illumos distro originally forked from Solaris 10, yet kept in-line with a lot Solaris 11 features.
Bhyve virtualization, LX Linux Zones, allow machines in the machine: with the Linux zones having higher performance.
If desired I can share what I use for my stock 2025 Tribblix 64-bit SPARC image and my OmniOS 2025 64-bit Intel image.
arm64 source is out there but I haven't actually been using that yet since its still experimental.
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
