Hi Experts,

I have successfully installed the Opensolaris 200906 on my dell dimension now ; 

Good thing is that it the gui is working with Ati 2400HD PRO but extra graphics 
isn't as advised by blacknov (2D/3D acceleration) ; when I do select the extra 
graphics option in appearances a white screen appears and i press ESC key to 
come out of it and save my GUI :-)

I am glad that I have a working install atleast to practice and get familiar 
with opensolaris.

Now, if you could give advises on where to look for what and any advise on what 
to get familiar with first would be great ; I have attached the systeminfo file 
here as well and have submitted on the hcl.

Kind regards
