Netbooks and OpenSolaris

Hi,

I've been testing OpenSolaris for the last few months on as many Netbooks as I can get my hands on for the last few months.

Our official website is http://www.opensolaris.org

Our latest release 09.06 available from http://www.genunix.org works really well on everything but the HP 1000, that needs the Broadcom ndiswrapper that stops suspend working.

Both the Acer Aspire One 8.9" and 10" work very well, plus the MSI, Asus Eee and Dell.

I still have not really worked out if I like the 8" or 10" better
