I've dloaded it, belenix, the base distro, & 1 other whose name I cant recall. Although I think it may simply be a 2nd download of one of the former.
Think I'll start with solaris CE, and then nexenta because I like their mantra of trying to emulate the ubuntu community (wish ubuntu would consider an opensolaris distro!). But I will def try belenix!
cheers,

Thanks for pointing that out about Nexenta. The release must have happened on one of the days that I was traveling.
BeleniX 0.6 (the version that came out last week) is based upon Solaris CE build 60. Last I checked (2 or 3 weeks ago) they were at build 63, so build 64 may be out now. Nexenta hasn't been released in a while so that's probably further back than build 60. I would recommend trying out BeleniX 0.6.
Nexenta had a release approx 2wks ago that's based on build 61

Are none of the main 3rd party distros as bleeding edge as solaris express CE? I'm going to try solaris CE 1st, but also wanna give some of the other main distros a shot. Which distros would you recommend 1st (after solaris express CE) and why?
Love this site by the way, tis even now, quite a rarity on the net.

I am personally fond of Solaris Express CE that's frequently updated for "Nevada", since I prefer cutting edge packages.

My favorite community-maintained one happens to be BeleniX as I've just been using it for quite a while, no major problems with it, and a nice selection of packages. I never got much into NexentaOS.
