Does anyone use Solaris for Ruby/Rails development?

I'm considering giving their native AMD64 version of Solaris 10 a go-round,
but before I go through the hassle to install it I wanted to see if anyone
else out there has any positive or negative experiences with Solaris.
Anyone?

Hey Abe,

I write Rails based apps at my place of employment and they are
deployed on Solaris 9. I develop on OS X (mmm iBook, crunchy), have
an intermediary test environment on NetBSD, and finally we deploy to
the sun box. I haven't run into a single hitch going from one system
to the other and have not had to modify my applications in any way to
get them to run. We don't have any Solaris 10 setup, but I can't
imagine why it'd give you any trouble.

I use IOWA, under Webrick, rather than Rails under Solaris 7 - 9 and I
haven't had any problems at all. Webrick performance is excellent, though
I will say that more memory is better. Running on a Sunfire 880 with 4Gb
of memory really makes Ruby and the webserver fly ;-). Certainly a touch
quicker than my development Ultra 10.
