well...If your intertested in something newer then i recommend Nexenta Core 3 b134f it's based of Opensoalris 134 but you will need to do some tweaking to inorder to get the gui running after it's installed. first follow the directions in installing the xorg, gnome,etc: http://www.nexenta.org/projects/site/wiki/FAQ#head-349d597361c796def36b8c424cc96a85682f3512 excerp: Desktop: Where's Xorg, Gnome, ...? Nexenta aims to be a solid core platform (CLI), but we do have xorg, Gnome2, XFCE4 and others in our repository. To get a WM wroking: First install xorg and configure it: apt-get install xorg Xorg -configure Not all of Gnome is in the repository, but most of it is. For Gnome, run: apt-get install gnome-core apt-get install ubuntu-artwork( for some artwork) if you try startx it will return this error: x: unable to determine if running on a console x: user not authorized to run the x server aborting to fix that you need to run as root and choose "anybody" from the menu, insted of "console" dpkg-reconfigure x11-common to run firefox: apt-get install firefox if you try to run it, it will return the error: ld.so.1: firefox: fatal: libjemalloc.so: open failed: no such file or directory the work around is: install xulrunner-1.9, and ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.5/libjemalloc.so /usr/lib/libjemalloc.so that is as far i got will contiune get familized with it later on:-) http://judebert.com/progress/archives/158-Starting-a-Stealth-X-Server-Display.html https://bugs.launchpad.net/nexenta/+bug/335267 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
