It's great to hear that. This is all actually pretty amazing. A year
ago, I really didn't think I would be running Solaris on cheap 64bit
platform so soon. Let me just say the killer combination again: Solaris
&& 64bit && cheap. With Linux Binary Emulation to provide an initial
spark it really looks like we're gonna have some real fun in the years to
come.

(The amount of excitement in the previous paragraph is notable considering
the fact that I didn't even mention open-sourcing of the thing.)
