Hi I came across this article http://wiki.openindiana.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4882475 on using a heavily patched 134 kernel for OI, so I just wonder - will 148 be based on using this 134+ kernel, or will this kernel be available as a choice in 148, or will us storage folks need to bui

Daniel and Lou, If you're happy with the sunfreeware build of R, that's fine. You can continue to use both sunfreeware and Blastwave on OpenIndiana, but I should point out they're primarily targeted toward Solaris 10 and earlier where proper integration with the system software was not possible.
