Actually i just in the process of moving the iso to ready it for
download. I am getting ready for fosdem and should be available by the
weekend
We have the basic minimal server config done and it is basically the
illumos kernel with the debian packaging utilities. We are not looking
at this as a supportable distro and are hoping for this to be a
community project. This is version 1.0. But are really liking the
massive stability improvements of ncp 3.0

After the initial announcement a few months ago (and subsequent flame

curious as to its status.
We were just about ready to start migrating from Solaris 10 to
OpenSolaris at work, and I was about to build an OpenSolaris-based
storage box at home, when it started into its death spiral :(. I've
been keeping an eye on OpenIndiana, but with no offense intended :),
I'm not particularly fond of IPS, so a production quality dpkg based
distribution sounds appealing. I never used NCP, but heard very good
things about it from others that did, so a new Illumos based Nexenta
backed distribution might be a good candidate for a Solaris replacement.
The only thing that might make it better would be if Nexenta found a
plausible business model where they could offer some type of support,
as that would make it a much easier sell to management <sigh>... Not
silly "hold my hand" support, but more along the lines of "my server
kernel panics every time it tries to import the zpool holding 20TB of
important data" support :).
Thanks for any update...
