> Mmmmm... I am losing a little in this thread :-S What are the
< differences between 200805 and SNV*?

OpenSolaris 2008.05 (http://www.opensolaris.com/)

- uses a Live-CD, from there you can start the installer
- has a new package management system (Image Packaging System)
- install most add-ons via internet, and can be updated via internet
  and the new package management system
- is based on the opensolaris build 86 kernel
  (build 86 has known bugs when you try to install it in a PV domU on
  a xen-3.2 hypervisor)
- Live-CD can be redistributed


Solaris Express Community Editon (Solaris Express CE)
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/

- Uses the old Solaris installer, comes on a DVD
- Using SVr4 pkg utilities, everything needed for installation is on the DVD
- Is released bi-weekly
- currently using opensolaris build 90 kernel
  (so it should install in a PV domU on a xen-3.2 hypervisor without (?)
   issues)
- Cannot be redistributed, so you must download it from sun.com.
