OK, thanks. Where does the liveCD fit into this. IIRC, it did was graphical, wasn't it? >> If I am correct, this "ON b68" is a basic "operation system" (i.e. >> libraries, basic tool-set, ...)?

AFAIK, debian is a OS-distribution which can be build on top of a number of different kernels. Besides the linux-kernel, there are debian-distribution on top of the gnu hurd kernel and the freebsd-kernel. See here: http://www.debian.org/ports/#nonlinux So what I wonder is this: can you call nexenta a "debian on top of a opensolaris kernel"? How much of nexentaCP is "own" code (or ONb68-derived) and how much come from the "GNU" projects or from debian? > HTH, > Martin Cheerio! Kr.
