I was trying "Solaris Express Developer Edition" (b57) for last three weeks.
Now i switched back to Debian.

The main problem i see with it is this:

There are some packages that i consider important are missing in it,
like, screen, lynx, emacs, tsocks, latex, etc. So i downloaded their
sources and when i tried configure && make && make install very few
packages compiled smoothly.

Even screen failed to build out of the box. This was a big turnoff
for me. If i could build from sources without any pain, i could have
used it couple of days more!
