I also need 64 bit PHP. I haven't looked, but I'd be willing to wager (only in Drachma!) that a 64-bit php is going to be much more involved as there are likely libraries that would need an update for 64-bit support too. Ultimately, it would be good to build everything with 64-bit support.

We currently don't maintain a build of a HTML browser. Browser builds are extremely time consuming, and other projects already do a good job at building for 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.
