Nice to know. I am looking forward installing OpenIndiana in our small company. Tried OpenSolaris sometime ago but when I decided to use it as my primary desktop, Oracle decided to stop developing for it so I am in a limbo, but now we have OpenIndiana, thank you guys...

Games All of the major popular FOSS games were porting to Solaris/OpenSolaris at one time or another. Patches were created work with the libUSB API so that we could enable USB-capable controllers (i.e. joysticks, mice, keyboards). OpenIndiana features the Nvidia drivers for OpenGL 2.1 conformance which exceeds 98% of the graphic requirements for most open source cross-platform 3D gaming specifications. The Boomer audio framework is a variant of 4Front Technologies Open Sound System (OSS) 4.x audio framework. Most games using legacy sound APIs should work or require small modifications to use Boomer. 2. A server-focused distribution Although seen as a desktop distribution by many people, OpenIndiana is currently a server-focused OS distribution. ~ Ken Mays _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
