[[ yes, ON is everything needed to boot and run init + shell (simplified explanation)
Quote: I though that "debian" filled in this part? Or not? debian is entirely different distro using different kernel, I don't understand what you mean by "filled in this part" ]] --Debian as a basic (no-X) server system already fills the role that Nexenta is currently working on (as of current Beta status.) Quite small footprint when installing from net, everything is an apt-get away. --We need to offer Nexenta users a value-add to get them to try the distro (ZFS is my primary concern, but others are in it for zones and stuff that I don't know about // gets little press) or they'll go somewhere else (freebsd, etc) when the opensolaris//open-sourced tech catches up. --Having broken packages to where the system is unusable / out of date for undetermined periods of time doesn't help. ;-) mman at martinman.net wrote: > Hi Kristoff > > Kristoff Bonne wrote: > > > > > Hmm.
