Hi GB,
If you're looking to move to a new OpenSolaris derived distro (i.e. based on
illumos, which is where
all the kernel/core userland development takes place across all distros) then
there are many choices
besides OpenIndiana.
I'd strongly recommend looking at SmartOS or OmniOS. SmartOS is developed
commercially by Joyent, a
large cloud computing provider in the US. OmniOS is also developed commercially
by OmniTI, a fairly
large IT services company. SmartOS may make a good choice as you're from a BSD
background, it uses
pkgsrc for packages.
OpenIndiana was started as an open source community developed distro similar to
Debian, but due to a
lack of interest there are only a few developers working on it part time, so
updates are slow, and
limited in scope due to the size of the project.
Does this means that you think OpenIndiana is dead ? If yes, how to avoid it ?
Regards,
Alasdair

If you're coming from OpenBSD, this shouldn't be at all alarming.
