Hi GWB, The packages will still be found in the older repository at
Add deb http://www.nexenta.org/apt-gnusolaris elatte-unstable main contrib non-free to the line, and then install nexenta-gnome. Note that the versions of the software will be of Ubuntu Dapper (3 years or so old). The packages are currently unmaintained, but known to work. Efforts during the recent months have improved the desktop in the hardy-unstable repository.. including a fairly complete XFCE desktop. Andrew is working on a stormos beta release (NCP2 + XFCE + desktop customization) by the end of the month. thanks, Anil On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 11:42 AM, GWB <g...@2realms.com> wrote: > Hello, Dev List, > > Thank you, Anil and Andrew, for your help.
