Thanks All,
You have some great information here and I'll dig more into this to see
what may, or may not, be possible.
John, you are correct in that the idea, if at all possible, was to run the
X-Server inside a container/vm and keep the core IllumOS/OpenIndiana to the
absolute minimum in side as
I remember the same discussion.
As far as i remember one needs to pass the graphics card into the zone

Like SmartOS, it can run LX (Linux) zones and uses pkgsrc which provides basic
x-windows support from that. (I've run apps like xterm etc. from a remote

Thanks for responding to my inquiry about OpenIndiana.
Basically, I really like the small footprint of SmartOS and its ability to
