Hi,

those things made me switch to a mixed environment for two years now: a thin client running linux (sl6) for all desktop related software, everything else running on an openindiana server. linux just can't compete in the storage compartment, nfs service, and the like, But things like skype, firefox, flash, sound, video, libreoffice, openoffice, eclipse, netbeans, etc. have a huge userbase and just work on linux.

This split approach works quite well for software development tasks. I really fear the day, when virtualbox or the oracle database server stop
working on openindiana.

Regards,
Michael

Hi,

i don't think that Microsoft will ever release Skype for OI (or
solaris)...

[back in
2010, there was Skype forum thread regarding Solaris, but it is gone now]

P.S. I, myself, am running CentOS 6 as VBox guest (not only for skype,
but
mysql-workbench /also Oracle maintained, but no release for Solaris
like OSes/,
TeamViewer, etc).
