Hello Barbara, My feedback pertains only to the "Getting Started Guide".

(Pages 5-11) 2) Installing OpenSolaris 2008.11 (Pages 11-21) 3) Installing OpenSolaris 2008.11 as a Virtual Machine (Pages 22-29) Several sections need to be shifted or consolidated, such as: * Chapter 1's flow should be more introductory... why should the user both using this release? "Overview of OpenSolaris..." should be the first section. * "Installation Roadmap" should be pushed to first section of Chapter 2 * "System Requirements" should preceed "Limitation for the ..." in Chapter 1. * "New Features in OpenSolaris 2008.11" should be the first section of "Overview of OpenSolaris 2008.11". * In general, I'm tempted to say that the other sections of the "Overview of OpenSolaris 2008.11" should be dumped or moved. * Is there a "Whats New in 2008.11" separate document? * I'm not sure we need installation instructure for installing Virtualbox on so many platforms.... just seems patronizing. * We discuss Virtualbox and Parallel's... we should therefore also add VMWare Workstation/Fusion and potentially (maybe not for this release) Xen/xVM. * There should be a "Consideration when Installing ..." section. benr.
