[OpenIndiana-discuss] ProLiant DL380p Gen8

[Roel_D]

Yep... 
But have you ever tried to get a support contract on a non-oracle system for
Solaris 11? 

I do have support contracts for Solaris 11 on old SUN hardware. 

But there are already big differences between Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana, so
it is getting complicated to remember how to use both OS's.

Then, pay for a contract and use Solaris 10 or 11.
