Cool, thanks Sun Beijing team for keeping Firefox Solaris build updated. It
already becomes my primary browser so that I can have consistent lookfeel and
functionality across all OSes I run.

Hi,
if I like to create a SchilliX that is able to deal with
Blastwave packages, I would need to populate the SUNW* related
package database for a SchilliX installation.
Is there a simple way to do this without really running pkgadd?
Or is there a way to create complete SUNW* packages from the

Even if OpenSolaris splits into countless splinters, you'll always have THE
Solaris and SolarisExpress which will be consistent.
As for BSDs, they haven't fragmented that much because the BSD community is
proportionally very small to other groups. My suspicion is that they have a
good sense
As J.S. mentioned before, in the future we should
expect at least 2

Hi,
For those interested, Adam Leventhal was interviewed on the British
podcasting Linux / open source radio show LugRadio this week. He
discusses OpenSolaris, and how it contrasts with Linux.

That is the tradition of ifconfig. arp gives you MAC addresses without
being root. Programmatically, you can retrieve MAC by poking the ARP. It's a
bit ugly since you have to know the IP of the nic to do that and it works for
UP interfaces only.

I think having different distrobutions of OpenSolaris is not a bad thing as

with each other, common libraries, common kernel, common X window, common
