For WAN purposes I need apache2, php5, mariadb, python (at least 2.7),git, svn, and maybe fish shell ;) .

I use it for testing stuff in zones a lot as well with the stacks you mention and others. I don't use samba, the cifs server is very reliable and easy to use, and now we have smb2 in it. I don't use ftp either, so I cannot comment on that, although I vaguely remember talk about removing it because it was removed from illumos.<br><br></div><div>The only thing I cannot do is kvm because that is not available for amd cpus, but that is not really a big deal. I got a nuc from work to use it as hypervisor (esx/kvm) and use the omnios box as storage datastore for the vms. Works great too.<br><br></div><div>Not much to say, it works very well, updates/upgrades are easy and work. An omnios box is a great home server. But if you are not willing to spend some time learning how things work in solaris/illumos then maybe the linux solution is better suited for you. It is a different system after all, lots of things are similar but others differ.<br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">HTH,<br><br></div>--<br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Groeten,<br>natxo</div>
