Hi vermaden,

Good suggestion. Never run Solaris before. In the past for Unix I selected either OpenBSD or FreeBSD. A side question what will be the difference btw Solaris and Open Solaris?

Generally X11 is not a standart package for servrs, but Solaris will install it anyway as part of the default install, so you will have to disable it manually by SMF later.

You may do some "startup" administration at the box in x11 and then after all Xen/xVM setup is done disable X11.
It seem NOT a problem to me if I can run Solaris as workstation. Since it is host I won't build server on it only for remote config the server on the virtual box.


Others noted with thanks
