In general, this release is noticeably better. Some key differences for me: * installer is less "flaky"; there were several bizarre failures that others filed bugs on that I didn't hit this time (and I did last time). * Less errors in dmesg output * My Belkin Atheros-based PCMCIA card worked "out of the box" on my Dell Inspiron 5150. I was prompted for a wireless network, selected my own, entered the wpa key, and it just worked. Wow. I've had to fiddle with it everytime I booted under all previous releases / incarnations of OpenSolaris. * Icons and theme are greatly improved * The improvements to pkg search, list, etc. are extremely helpful. * The graphical package manager is a great start. * Being able to install openoffice, etc. right away was nice. * Install process only took 11 minutes on my Intel Core 2 Duo E6600! -- Shawn Walker "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
