Hey Smokin Whale,
Why why where you using Virtual Box? You know Solaris has has a feature called zones that can give you virtual Solaris servers on your server. This is used mostly to manage system resources and give prigram isolation. You can make a zone of Solaris or Linux, thought Linux is a little harder. It can't do Windows, if you want that I believe Red Hat can do that. Also VMware EXI can do all the operating systems. VMware gives you a 60 day trail when you download it. The software doen't stop working after the 60 day trail is over.
Any way I hope this helps

Hi guys.
