Georgia Tech has used Solaris machines for Swikis. They work great,
though there are two issues I remember from the top of my head:
1. The default limit on file descriptiors is about 64, which is really
tight for a busy Swiki. So play with limit or ulimit if necessary.
2. Solaris primitives seem to get interrupted much more easily than on
Linux. The particular place I remember bumping into this was doing
readdir's on an NFS directory; it is more important on Solaris that
system calls from the Squeak VM handle EINTR than it is on Linux.
