The full Moblin platform appears to require a Linux kernel and GNU/Linux core OS. I don't see any real technical reason why we can't get the Moblin desktop UI up and running on OpenSolaris.
I'm not familiar with building even the current GNOME desktop on OpenSolaris so I'm not sure where the best place to start with this would be. It is based on the GNOME mobile project. I'd really like to see the Moblin "Desktop" up and running on OpenSolaris - we can be just as good a Netbook OS as Linux x86 can be. It might worth picking a specific part of Moblin Core and focusing on that first. Some useful links: http://moblin.org/ http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-overview/architecture-overview http://moblin.org/documentation/moblin-overview/moblin-core I've made a tiny tiny start by starting to build gssdp and gupnp. gssdp 0.6.4 built fine but gupnp needs 0.7 (which is git repo only it seems). However gssdp needs get_ifaddrs() I found a copy of that from Jim Carlson posted to networking-discuss@ last year. That got me gssdp compiled. gupnp still needs some other dependencies like uuid. Its is a small start but not much yet. -- Darren J Moffat
