As part of the WebStack project within OpenSolaris (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/webstack/), we are working towards integrating and improving the PHP experience on OpenSolaris (post Solaris 10). So, you are welcome to be involved with this project and provide your valuable feedback as well. thanks Sriram.
