There are a lot of variants of the Open Indiana platform.  There is even on=
e or two that'll give you GNU Userspace if you're not quite ready to go all=
 the way over (Nexenta).  Also Joyent has a nice JeOS based version of illu=
mos that they use in production on their cloud stack (SmartOS) [This one ta=
kes a little bit to get used too].  Open Indiana is also solid and it is bi=
nary compatible with Linux so if something doesn't happen to be on there, i=
t shouldn't be too much of  a hassle to put it on, well using gcc anyway.  =
If you want to use Sun CC it can be tricky to use that toolchain.  ZFS, DTr=
ace, Zones, Crossbow are all pretty neat tech that's worth checking out.
