So there is a sort of scope to OmniOS where I would think that the answer to that would be that OmniOS already does all of the things it's going to want to do to support being used as a NAS, and there are some docs on how to set up a third party package repo to add the rest of the prereqs onto it. The only place where I think OmniOS might benefit heavily from some collaboration is with its installer, and possibly-maybe OI and OmniOS could mutually benefit from that. But with one of the stated goals of OmniOS being: "A simple and supported environment for managing custom repositories with your software packages", I think it would be more consistent with that distro's vision to figure out how to bolt on the NAS functionality as third party packages. Such an effort could be of mutual benefit to OI, potentially, if the packages are made with due care. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
