    I have an Ultra 10, which I use for my personal webserver box, and some
    hobby OSS development.

    It currently runs Solaris 10, but I am thinking of swithing it over to
    OpenSolaris so that I can have access to Sun Studio 10 compilers, but I
    have some questions.

    1. Will I notice a performance loss going to OpenSolaris from Solaris 10?
    2. What tools are currently missing?
    3. Are there many packages available for OpenSolaris? Will Solaris 10
    packages work for OpenSolaris?
    4. Anything else I should know?

    Thanks,

    ~S
