(moderation:
currently only SETI@home (effectively with my self-compiled version) and SIMAP (dotsch compiled them after agreeing to a non-disclosure rule) support in a limited way this platform --- because you have meanwhile even IRIX@MIPS support, this should be worth to give it a trial, and because you have already running GNU/Linux x86, FreeBSD x86 and SPARC-Solaris it should be relatively easy...

I agree. Since I discovered Solaris 10 zones and ZFS, nothing can bring me back to FreeBSD or Linux again.

Although it's not urgent, it would avoid a lot of configuration hassle for Solaris users.
