Thanks, Erast, for some practical hints. I will keep asking ... ;)

> cat /etc/release 

NexentaOS GNU/OpenSolaris Alpha 6
to my surprise, I'd say, and my confusion. See the boot message as well as 
sources.list.
Be it as it is: How do I upgrade ?


> NCP and Alpha7 using the same sources.list

Not 
deb http://apt.gnusolaris.org elatte-unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://apt.gnusolaris.org elatte-unstable main contrib non-free
?
Which one, please ?


> We are not going to release Alpha8+, if this is what you are asking. 

No, that's not the question. The question is, if there will be an 
update/upgrade path or if my current version is dead-end.


> Proper desktop installation would be:
> * install latest NCP
> * apt-get update && apt-get install nexenta-gnome
> * reboot 

---------
* install latest NCP
Again: How ?
---------
* apt-get update && apt-get install nexenta-gnome
The following extra packages will be installed:
  winbind
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  nexenta-gnome winbind
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1732kB of archives.
After unpacking 4182kB of additional disk space will be used.
[...]
UX: groupadd: winbindd_priv name too long.
UX: groupadd: winbindd_priv name should be all lower case or numeric.
What's wrong here ?


>  5. Can I get relevant patches for the time being ? If 'yes', how and where ?

Good to know ! 

Thank you very much, Erast !
