Good technology for those who understand unix

|OpenIndiana
Open Indiana is the evolution of Solaris with many modern changes. It supports ZFS by default, solving some hurdles with using ZFS on Linux. You also get LXC containers, which is preferred by some.

What is OpenIndiana?

OpenIndiana is an open-source operating system that is part of the illumos project, designed to be a continuation of the OpenSolaris OS. It aims to maintain the legacy of Solaris by providing a robust platform for servers and desktops, combining advanced enterprise features with a community-driven development model. OpenIndiana is known for its use of the ZFS filesystem, network virtualization, and DTrace for real-time debugging and performance analysis. Users can expect a UNIX-like environment with a focus on stability, scalability, and data management.
