Err.. No. Belenix is a distro that is based on the opensolaris ON (operating system + network), uses KDE, aims to be an appealing desktop to the user and to the developer, and has been the basis of Sun;s OpenSolaris distro. We're working toward using a free toolchain, and apart from the kernel and Firefox, everything else on Belenix has been built using GCC 4.4.1. Since we're a KDE based distro, we're users of the QT framework. At the moment, KDE on Belenix is not Solaris - aware. That is, KDE components do not have Solaris specific functionality such as management of file systems, UI for the seriously amazing networking stack, support for Zones and RBAC, etc. From a service side, there is a lack of web based management /REST interfaces to administering the system. Interesting and useful tasks would be to create management interfaces for file systems, network stacks, observability, and similar tools that would make the life of sysadmins easier. These are projects that we as BangPypers can undertake, and learn a lot in the process. -- Sriram _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
