Operating Systems Solaris best vm platform for x86 solaris Post 302270388 by reborg on Sunday 21st of December 2008 05:49:23 PM

In my opinion having used almost all of the VM platforms currently available is that Virtualbox is indeed that best option for desktop use. Not only does it work for Solaris guests, but you can if you decide to move to Solaris as the main OS, run another operating system as a guest on a Solaris machine.
