How to Buy an OpenSolaris Toshiba Laptop
For now they're only available in the US, but over the course of this year they'll become available world-wide.

- What's New for Administrators in OpenSolaris 2008.11
- New storage features in OpenSolaris 2008.11
- How to Recover the OpenSolaris Software Stack
By the way, the software stack included in the Toshiba laptops is:
- Adobe Flash Player
- Glassfish V2
- Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 10
- NetBeans IDE 6.5
- OpenOffice 3.0
- Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.0.6
- Sun Studio Express 11/08
- Web Stack that includes MySQL and the Apache Web Server
Toshiba ships the Tecra R10 with Windows Vista Business as standard, and this operating system comes with its own performance measurement tool, the Windows Experience Index. Under this, the Tecra achieved a score of 3.8, but this was pegged back by the system's low score for 3D gaming graphics due to the integrated functions in its Intel chipset. For each of memory, graphics and hard disk performance, the Tecra scored over 5, where 5.9 is the maximum.

Good news, I am looking forward to being able to buy them here in Europe. Let's hope it doesn't take Toshiba until Q4 to ship them there.
