OK, someone 'splain me somethin'
I get how Solaris and OpenSolaris work, what packages are, IPS, how to install
stuff, and all that. Been doing it for a couple decades. And by the way, I'm
still holding out hope for the Solaris 11 developer release to effectively
replace OpenSolaris. But

The website team is intact. You can find us on website-discuss for
general issues and website-admin for user account issues. Other info here:

Since it seams the website team is effectively gone (see Elaine and Derek's
goodbye messages elsewhere), it may be hard to pull something like this
together. Instead, how about a flickr tag ("#opensolaris"?) so anyone can
post their own pictures and mashup an image stream?

If you build a distro and make the resulting binaries (an ISO image...)
available on a website, all you need to do is provide a compressed tar file
(or an ISO image of one) of the "make clean"d source tree you used - there
is no reason to make the source tree part of your binary ISO image

A big thank you to everyone who replied. It's appreciated. :)
Basically, assessing everything said so far, to make a distro, one has to:
1. Build it from source
2. Include the binaries
3. Follow the guide for remastering

Yeah as much as Linux folks believe Red Hat is their friend and giving
everything away for free, you are sadly mistaken. Red Hat has always been about
making money from Linux, make no mistake about it. And seeing how Novell is
having issues, it's very likely that Red Hat will continue to be the

I suspect that if they treat actual or potential customers that way, they
may have some problem listening to mere engineers, too. (as opposed
to parasites like MBAs maybe?)
Oracle was always going to throw out of the pram what they can't use or
understand...this throws up many opportunities.
