Hi all,

IMHO OpenIndiana /hipster is OK for desktop use (not ideal, but if you 
like it...).

For serious use (if Oracle Solaris is out of question) I would use one 
of SERVER distributions, mentioned here: 
http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/Distributions (SmartOS is maybe 
best choice. Of course I do not know what needs you really have)

Personally I use /hipster from OI for every day job (is that production 
use?) and despite some problems and missing bits, I found it very stable 
and fairly good to use (consider latest Firefox, 
OpenSSH/OpenSSL/OpenLDAP, OpenOffice, LibreOffice /SFE/, TimeSlider, 
VirtualBox, etc).

Best regards.
