I have suspected sometime that a rolling release would confuse potential
users. Perhaps we should consider a named beta release soon under the
appropriate celestrial name?

This machine is just a tryout for me. Wanna see if I can get SunRays, with
Firefox, thunderbird and libreoffice going and then a serviio dlna server
using ffmpeg for transcoding.
Most other server bits here are on FreeNAS boxes.
I'm not seriously expecting hipster to be super stable, but I can't imagine
you folks putting all this effort in unless your experience occasionally
includes reasonable usefulness.

Objet : [OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster distro contents confusion
I'm looking at Hipster 2016.04 and noticing that it supposedly includes
gnome and mate1.4, apart from firefox and ffmpeg and lots of nice things.
No warnings on the Release Notes page.
Then I find another download, 2016 08 16, a test iso where the
intro/invite text talks about serious problems with having both MATE and
Gnome....
And I have a few other minor unclear points when trying to understand
the ISO snapshot vs ips server stuff.
So a few questions to clear my mind of unfounded worries:
I suppose the ISOs are "hipster in a reasonably stable state, well worth
trying in a non-critical machine, likely to work just fine, mostly"?
On the desktop hipster is a "no crash stable beta". But you have to add
some package to make it
Here is a script for that.

===========
Are the live graphical ISOs reasonably complete, including most standard
toppings for the Hipster ice cream? Or should I expect to add further
packages after the ISO is installed, in order to have a nice basic
desktop or media server experience??
Is the Gnome vs Mate issue from the 2016-08-16 test ISO a problem in the
2016.04 ISO as well???
In the future, how do I upgrade from my then current Hipster ISO distro
to the next Hipster ISO distro?
Will the ISOs contain an upgrade option?? Or is there some consolidation
package magic to use the IPS server for that??
I intend to run Hipster in a new machine, no old data to backup.
