To be honest I am very confused by the many versions of solaris, and what they are. Since I have your ear, can I veryify the following understanding, as well as tweek up my names, and add any "aliases"?
[1] Solaris 10 0807 or U4 would be the most stable, but the oldest/clunkiest/least-featured. [2] Solaris Express Developer Edition (current) is well tested and while it may have its quirks, I should not be in danger of loosing data. [3] Solaris Express Community Edition (AKA Nevada), since it comes out every other Friday, assume that while it might be great to play with, it probably has its moments, and depending on any given release without being on top of what is going on in the community would be pretty risky. [4] Indiana is very early, and should not be used other than by people who want to play with a work in progress. It will use the gnu userland, and in general have capabilities more like a Linux distribution. It does not appear to show up anywhere yet. Frank mentioned "Opensolaris". I don't know what to relate these comments to on the 'download page'. The thread might imply that since I installed SXDE that was not the live CD, that I did not install ZFS.... any might indicate the SXDE was NOT OpenSolaris. I don't know what the LiveCD is... BeleniX appears to be the only one listed as a "LiveCD", is this what you mean? I appologize if I am being thick, but to me this is not at all clear. Thanks for any help you can give me understanding! This message posted from opensolaris.org
