[osol-discuss] Re: Noob with a couple questions
My personal preference and suggestion for a Solaris Desktop for novice users would be the Solaris Express Developer Editions (SXDE) as they are quite stable and incorporate many new easier-to-use features not currently in Solaris 10. However, if you connect direct to the internet (not behind a home router/firewall) you may prefer the latest Solaris 10 build since, at present, the SXDE does not get security patches - but still [u]greatly [/u]safer than a fully patched Windows box IMHO.

[osol-discuss] Re: GPLv3?
More importantly I see no statement of what problem we are actually trying to solve by using a license other than the CDDL. Exactly how is the CDDL not working for us ? What do we really expect to gain by using a GPL license as well as or instead of CDDL ? -- Darren J Moffat ___ Here, here! As Darren already stated, [b]what's the problem with the CDDL and what does the OpenSolaris project hope to accomplish by changing the current license? [/b] As the common quote goes, Solaris isn't Linux, so why try to hide this wolf in a sheep's clothing? What specifically is to be gained by adopting licenses with other GPL projects? Simplicity? Is that it? If that is the case, this reminds me why I prefer Solaris to that other popular GPL OS...simple is often dumb.

[osol-discuss] Re: Re: New to OpenSolaris, need help?
To summarize my experience and what others have alluded to, my suggestion is to start with Nexenta since you are used to apt-get and Linux. However, much like most Linux folks don't start with Gentoo but end up there, keep you eye on learning enough to migrate to a more production-like [Open]Solaris proper like Solaris Express or the upcoming commercially supported Solaris 10 11/06 (12/06?). Then, if either of those two bore you, hop into the fresh OpenSolairs code you build yourself.

[osol-discuss] Re: OpenSolaris desktop background image
This image is actually a rop of a much larger image at 4096x3072 pixels. Then I cropped out the 1600x1200 section here and that bland column really sticks out. How about a widescreen 1920x1200 version to fit natively on Sun's largest LCD? Consideration would then have to be made for different aspect ratio displays cropped content. Also, what about having the transparency object much brighter, luminescent, and more diamond-like in material? Frankly, the current lighting doesn't yet reflect the bright, clean, and exceptionally strong nature of Solaris. ;) What program did you render this with?

[osol-discuss] Re: Adobe Acrobat for Solaris x86
An older version (4?) of Acrobat Reader is available for SOlaris x86, but you need to get it via Adobe's FTP site IIRC. I have a copy here, but I doubt I'm allowed to redistribute it... Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member Likewise, I've also requested this recompile via Adobe's suggestions page, but not so much as an email reply that Adobe's considering it has been received. Sure, version Acrobat Reader version 4 for Solaris x86 is available, but it's largely useless since it doesn't support all of the new features that modern Acrobat files now are often created with. By useless, I mean the files are often completely unreadable. =( The entire situation is unfortunate since I [i]used [/i]to like the Acrobat format - that is, until I realize that it's no longer very cross platform compatible. I have a hard time imaging why Adobe is so reluctant to just recompile their Acrobat Reader for virtually any modern platform. Anymore, ODF sounds like a better file format for mass dissemination. Thumbs down to Adobe on this issue thus far. /rant Wes Williams x86 Solaris/OpenSolaris user This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Re: sata or pata on older sparc/pci workstations ?
If these limit apply to both, is there a better release to use on this particular machine for now? ZFS is such a great feature, I'd suggest grabbing SX (Solairs Express) and use ZFS now, or you can wait until June when Solaris 10 update 2 should be out, and include ZFS. You can't, yet, boot from ZFS, so simply make available another non-boot partition or disk(s) available for your music data. made with that use in mind. I don't seem to have a copy of sol 9 on hand and off hand don't know where to get one.] Good. Skip Solairs 9 and focus on either Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris. For most non-developer users, Solairs Express is the easiest way to attain and use the OpenSolairs features.

[osol-discuss] Re: OpenSolaris Hardware donations [OpenSolaris.org
I guess there would be some lightweight decision process for who would get the donated system...how do other communities handle that? LKR When I've donated hardware in the past to FreeBSD you basically just email the donation liaison officer and they simply select a worthy candidate and submit an email back with a willing recipient address to ship to. Alternatively, FreeBSD also has the page linked above where you can directly donate hardware to the donator’s choice. I don't really care where this hardware goes as long as it would be used in a capacity to further OpenSolaris.
