Nope it's not, to unzip, you need to waste almost the double space in the
local hard disk, sometimes, if you run out of space, it's really painful to
unzip it (or impossible). DVD images are not small, and you don't save that
much bandwith since most of the DVDs are packages already compressed.

Bad idea, OpenSolaris != Sun. And OpenSolaris != (only) SXD/CE
