Of the illumos distros I've tried the past few years, Tribblix felt quite concise and
easy to get started with, and ran leaner than the others I tried. Peter Tribble was also
quite quick to respond when I had some questions about a few things. I'd recommend
it to folks who do want to give things a spin in that realm, but I've stepped outside
the x86 stream these days to aarch64. Still, if you're running an x86 type CPU or
SPARC, might be worth a spin!
