SmartOS

After building my new server capable of running SmartOS, it was time to give it a spin! If you've only built desktop machines, its hard to express how awesome IPMI KVM is.

I've been reading about SmartOS for awhile now and have wanted to build a home server that would let me run VM's with ZFS for the main file-system. Getting rid of my home theater PC and wireless router (which has been annoying me with its flakiness for months) was also a goal.
