Personally I love Solaris 11, but be warned it is a very different
beast from Solaris 10.  If you dont have any experience with
OpenSolaris, then your in for a shock.  It uses an IPS packaging
infrastructure which completely changes the installation and patching
processes.  The network layer implements crossbow and is very
different from past generations.  The system becomes more dependent
upon SMF and many of the /etc config files that you are used to
managing for configuration are now auto-generated  from SMF
properties.  Solaris 10u10 is like putting on a round of patches while
Solaris 11 is nearly like a new OS.  Goood changes, but dramatic
changes forcing you into a deeper learning curve.
