It hardly works on its own. :)  If you want something that you have to
babysit, and can crash really easily, and use FC3, I still don't think
anyone is actively working on it.  It hardly feels like anyone is even
working on OpenSSI these days.  A few people have mentioned it, and I'm
interested in it, but you'd probably have to roll your own.
