Hi. I've just finished the exciting journey of installing Indiana.
Watched with all excitement, I saw screens of text scrolling through and
finally, I was greeted with a blue login screen.

Huh? What's the username and password? I don't know. After some rounds
of searching, I discovered its "jack,jack" or "root,opensolaris". One
obstacle down. I bulldozed into the colourful gnome environment.

What presented in front of me was a simple menu with user "jack" logged
in. I tried out many of the functions included in the menu and got the
following findings:

1. For some reason, I don't know why there's 2 "show desktop" icons on
my Desktop, one at top-right and one at bottom-left. 

2. gDesklet was included! but didn't response even when I clicked to
activate it

3. Indiana didn't managed to activate my onboard network interface.
Wireless works well though using Network Auto Magic (NWAM) 

4. Build in camera and fingerprint scanner didn't function as well.

5. the default resolution was 1024 x 768 on my Intel 965 chipset.
However, screen detection was pleasant given that my screen is a WXGA.
Ubuntu didn't do it right initially.

6. Jack cannot trigger "time and date" or "users and groups" because
root password is needed for that. However, it just won't go through even
if you key in the right password. I suspect this has something to do
with RBAC

7. sound was not functioning as well

8. there's no reboot button on the menu. So I'm left with shutdown but
interestingly, i don't have the necessary privilege to shutdown the
machine.

9. Hmmmm....No office of any sort (StarOffice or OpenOffice) is present

10. "Lock screen" function don't seems to perform any function after I
clicked on it

11. "Screensaver" function don't seems to perform any function after I
clicked on it

12. Can't find the "update manager" or "software update" function for
patching

That's all! I do look forward to the improvised revision.
