Hey Klaus,
We use solaris as host AND guest ;)
solaris is slightly different to normal VM systems in that you can't really
load up "any OS" into the guest. There are branded zones that support a few
flavours of linux (ala redhat, etc). However, in our experience the Solaris
OS is really solid for all we need.
you can read up alot here -
Also there is some really nice network virtualisation you can do too.
Cheers
Jason

Jason, are you using Solaris only as host or also as
guest OS?
