Re: [zfs-discuss] future of OpenSolaris
Hi, > Without saying anything negative about Nexenta I would strongly recommend > you go try to send a single patch to their equivalent of onnv-gate before > recommending it as any sort of replacement for OpenSolaris. Not sure what the above is intended to mean. To clear things, Nexenta project is open to patches. It always makes sense to send patches to the upstream project (for any project), but if there's an instance where upstream does not integrate a patch, the Nexenta project will definitely consider adding it. This discussion is a bug/rfe report away.

Hi Bogdan, Which particular packages were these? RC3 is quite stable, and all server packages are solid. If you do face issues with a particular one, we'd appreciate a bug report.

The focus is on the core.. and it has been so since the move from Gnusolaris (the older Gnome based Nexenta) to Nexenta Core platform. The idea was and remains that interested community members can build off it. One example is StormOS, and XFCE based distro being built on NCP2. According to the latest blog entry.. a release is imminent. Perhaps you'll have better desktop experience with this.
