Ok, S11 Express finally got out.
Is there any information on how the Express train will be going forward? like
planned release cycle and whether it will be continued after official S11
launches?
I still would like to stay with S11 express since I am not use it in any
business or production. I

Ugh, I am not sure people are missing the point here.
In fact, it's the point that illumos is an unburdened O/N, and O/N only.
You need a distro built upon it to actually benefit from illumos, plus things
like X Windows stack (FOX gate?,) GNOME desktop or whatever desktop environment
of choice by
One thing I didn't figure out from the announcement, since illumos starts as an
ON without corporate burden, is there game plan to also get a sample distro
using illumos ON? Nexenta might be one but probably a more desktop-oriented one
is needed, the need is like what it was at the time project

Hi Juergen,
Thanks for the hint, you are correct about the root cause.
I updated the BIOS just this week and forgot to disable the non-existent PS/2
floppy.
Then this coincides with b131 update.
After disabling PS/2 drive as I should've to, the boot time is back to normal.

hmm.. I do see similar boot time from a b131/Core i7 920/12 GB ram system.
perceptually it's slower than b130

Ok, now it's Oracle's turn,
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/20/oracle_buys_sun/
At least the company doesn't shy from speaking about it:
http://www.oracle.com/sun/sun-general-presentation.pdf
Personally I am not sure if Oracle is better than IBM. If I has to pick, Cisco
is the top choice.
Given Sun's ability to look good to investors and Wall St. (other words, making
$$)
I doubt there will be lots of similar attempt in the future.
Now Sun is (almost) a walking dead in the middle of desert with vulture
hovering overhead.
And the latest report from The Reg. does not make one feel

Hi there,
The title says much of it, is there any plan to bring IPS into SXCE? Or future
Solaris is still based on SVr4 packaging system?
If there is plan to integrate IPS into SX, any projected build for that?
Cheers,

If you are acquiring a new box instead of upgrading, consider systems with
intel chips, Core 2 Quad these days owns Phenom (K10 based)
Sun Ultra24 is quite a good choice.

Thanks for putting up a focused (at least intend to be) thread on the subject.
Now, I've been tracking indiana-discuss last week or so, but still feel there
is a conflict on what indiana should be.
Current consensus seems like indiana is to be a minimum/core distro for other
distro to refer, to

Even though the scope of Project Indiana is somehow clearer than it was a few
weeks ago, could somebody (preferrable Ian) explain and give a big picture
about how the Indiana distro differentiates from current Sun owned distros like
Solaris Express? other than ownership of course.

Hi all,
Personally I don't see how a GPL'd OpenSolaris would do any better than current
CDDL, not to mention possibility for various linux distribution to gain free
and instant access to codes like dtrace and zfs.
Two years ago, going GPL might help Solaris then to pick up drivers written for
For your reference, someone has already created a bug:

Hi, I believe this is not harmful other than a bit of annoying, if you would

Hi all,
I am not sure which list this questions best belongs to, so I try here first.
Has anyone tried to build with library configuration returned by
`/usr/sfw/bin/net-snmp-config -libs`?
On my snv57, it gives "-R../lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -lnetsnmp -lgen -lpkcs11 -lkstat

Hi,
It depends on what your desktop activities are, and which "open solaris"
distribution you choose to run.
Hi all,
Is there any news on these two features on X86? Are they being worked on or
we still have to wait a bit longer?
Laptop discussion list seems focusing on WiFi now, so there isn't much in
that list. :)
Thanks!
Ivan.

Not know what others said about ReiserFS, but in my experience ReiserFS gives
me far less trouble than ext2/ext3. Especially when recover from power
interruption.
Even with journalizing, ext3 fs on our local servers suffer from data
corruption and needed to be fsck'ed ;) during power outtage.

Hey,
Thanks for putting up KDE for solaris, I must say that after seeing
screenshot, I am tempted to try KDE 3.4.1.
Is there a recommended way to integrated this as a environment option in
dtlogin? And how is i18n/l10n in KDE? I wish I could still have localized
menu/messages..
Ivan.
