I'm honest, I liked DilOS more than OpenIndiana. But OI is the only working

DilOS wanted to support graphical environment, too. I asked Igor about that
and he
gave me the milestones. The day DilOS will have a desktop is too far in the
future.
So what about the possibility of cooperating between two projects? DilOS
will give
OpenIndiana a much better base and OpenIndiana could help a graphical DilOS
possible.
Imagine, DilOS is Debian and OpenIndiana is Ubuntu. Both sides will win,
and the users will win, too.
Sort of.
I'm not keen on the idea of ZoL (ZFSonLinux) the OI version is better. :-)
Package management; while I suppose it's easy to use a DEB package manager,
and import a bunch of Linux based applications. In the short run, it'd be a
LOT
of work, and a seemingly good amount of Linux shims for OI to introduce. Is
this
the best plan for the long run?
OTOH if their graphics stack is better/more polished. Hijacking for OI seems
tempting. :-)
Mind you these are *my* opinions, and may, or may not be shared by others.

Please let me know what the two sides think about this. Sorry Igor, I know I
should ask you first but I posted there anyway and waiting for the answers
from
both of you.
