Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Gnome and the future
I never suggested stopping DE development. I merely suggested that thinking of OI as an enterprise desktop OS is trying to sell an idea that enterprises aren't going to buy. I'm actually going to switch from Mac to OI laptop after the holidays (getting crazier with age).

And what we will have? Another one illumos based server distribution?! I see OI as OS for general purposes, so stopping development in DE will decrease value of OI. Yes, community is to small but we have to find compromise and community will grow up. P.S. I'm not an active OI developer, but I help with testing and I'm going to contribute as developer at future. - Maxim Julius Roberts wrote: On 1 November 2012 02:33, mag...@yonderway.com wrote: This is based on the false premise that OpenIndiana is an enterprise desktop operating system. +1. There are alot of very useful desktop operating systems already, so i see no point in OI trying to compete with them. In business speak OI has a sustainable competitive advantage with ZFS, zones, dtrace, etc etc and those alone are why most people will be attracted to OI. Our OI servers sit in various computer rooms and we talk to them exclusively over ssh, if it didn't feature a GUI we wouldn't notice or care. I wonder how many other OI users feel similarly? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

It has pretty weak anti-spam facilities, if at all, and so would not really be an mta you want for incoming use. If you only want to use it for outgoing then I can understand.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ? Additional info ?
Relax, Steve. It will all be ok. This mailing list works pretty well actually. There is also an irc channel, #OpenIndiana, which I have found to be both friendly and helpful. OpenIndiana is not Indiana, nor is it OpenSolaris. You will find more of a tie to Illumos than anything. Go to Illumos.org and you will see a link to a forum there if that is what you are after.

I was able to find something at OpenSolaris.org but the Indiana category appears to be 'closed' - is there a forum aside from IRC and this listserv that exists -to address targeted facets and innards of O.I.? Secondly - the O.I. FAQ fails to answer the question if Gnome (or the lack there of) and if this GUI is the only differenced between the 148 server and the desktop installation binaries. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] oracle removes 32bit x86 cpu support for solaris 11 will OI do same?
Closer to twenty. And my Ultra 1 is doing fine. Sent from my iPad On Jun 22, 2011, at 9:10 PM, Gary Driggs gdri...@gmail.com wrote: FWIW, Mac OS X Lion will only support x64 as well. IMHO, this is a good move for modern operating systems since there are always going to be alternatives for those still using i386 architecture. How long has Solaris/SPARC been 64-bit?
