Have you ever used Solaris descendants on real hardware? I use OmniOS, an Illumos distribution. Illumos is the fork of the OpenSolaris project, which was killed by Oracle. I use it mainly as a NAS, VM and HVM host, a file storage and VPN exit point. It works wonderfully. Zones are a great container replacement. It also can run linux applications without using the linux kernel, using LX-branded zones.

I didn't really have a reason to try other than wanting to brag about using a true genetic successor of the original Unix. >Zones are a great container replacement. It also can run linux applications without using the linux kernel, using LX-branded zones. Absolutely fascinating, I was never aware of zones. I'd have to do a lot more research first but they sound great for server use. Thank you for bringing them to my attention.

Newcomers frequently gets confused about the uname output. It clearly says i386, therefore many thinks it is a 32 bit operating system, but the isainfo command clearly shows it is a full 64 bit operating system. File output for confirmation.

I recommend Stephen's channel, he have some Illumos related videos, mostly SmartOS: https://m.youtube.com/c/StephensMachineRoom/videos
