I like your artwork, but the humour behind them is what really makes them stand out; I laughed out loud at the waitress and Java parts! Very fitting indeed.
Does Solaris-tan like keeping things in containers, too?
I'm afraid that I'm not quite familiar enough with Solaris to know what the container reference is. ^^'
And I've never met a Solaris user before. Do you use it mostly as a desktop, server, or as a hobby/experimental system?
Solaris Containers and Zones are process-level virtualization, sort of like a FreeBSD jail.
I use the Solaris Containers (and FreeBSD Jails) to run insecure freeware, like DC++. The Containers allow me to run the program in its own secure environment, without needing to drag along the overhead of VMware and a whole other OS. Containers can be used to do way more, but I haven't gotten to the point where I've needed to do that - yet.
As for what I use Solaris for, I'd say all three. Runs fine on older hardware, runs fine on new stuff. In my experience it's quite fast and stable and it's got a killer file system, although from what I hear, the x86-64 port is only a shadow of the native SPARC Solaris.
Didn't know that it worked well with older hardware either; I'd always been under the impression that Solaris was almost exclusively geared toward high-end hardware.
