Thanks Dave,

and as it turns out Open Indiana SHOULD run as Oracle does. Both were derived from the same Open Solaris source. ... But the proof is in the pudding as they say so stay tuned.


and Thanks also to Gil for his input... and the reason Gil is that Microsoft keeps putting out this Bloatware that keeps getting larger and I get very little for it. When I migrated to DX Lab a year or so ago I had plenty of extra RAM I could even run a few extra programs when necessary. Now as it stands I have 12k or RAM left after booting and running DX Lab and as a result the program keeps swapping parts of DX Lab out to disk.

Besides UNIX/LINUX etc. runs considerably faster and is more flexible. The one caveat is that you occasionally have trouble getting drivers for a particular piece of hardware....

You may be able to run the Solaris version of VirtualBox on
OpenIndiana, but you still have to run Windows in a VM, and that VM
needs whatever amount of memory Windows needs to function and support
the DXLab Suite.. and now you need memory for *two* operating systems
instead of one. It seems unlikely to solve your problem.

How much memory do you have?
