<div dir="ltr">Yes, you can install and run other operating systems directly on the hardware. Modern Linux kernels are supported, and I'm pretty sure NetBSD and OpenBSD are also supported, though I don't have personal experience with those. I believe OpenBSD even natively supports LDOMs (VMs) the same way Solaris does, so performance should be nearly identical.<div><br></div><div>By the way, if you find a way to tame the fans so they aren't screaming loud, please post back here with information!

Thank you, Jerry. So 11.3 it is.<br>
<br>
What about running other OSes? I mean, will the ALOM <br>
boot/control/install other OSes -- is this even possible without using a <br>
VM such as qemu?<br>
<br>
