Ubuntu is supposed to be able to spin on a T1000/T2000 and they have
come out with a magical beast called Solaris 10 and in Sun's infinite
wisdom they have decided to abandon the /etc/init.d/ and friends way of
startup for some complex XML way of doing things. But otherwise its
quite good (ZFS and Cool Thread servers being among the other good
things out of Sun's shop).
