Didn’t use it too much, tho. Never installed it on bare metal, only in a VM, and back in those days I was in my distro-hopping phase (I was discovering Arch), so I tested it and quickly forgot about it.
We ran OpenSolaris as our NFS server for several years on ASUS Xeon servers. zfs was a big part of that. Ilumos is still alive and keeping the OpenSolaris world going in a small way.
I liked OpenSolaris, you could order a free CD from their website and they’d post it, even internationally.
I still have one of those! 😆

Thanks for digging it up and sharing the photo! It’s nostalgic seeing this
