For some odd reason, the device driver utility would not upload my information to the repository, but I had to mention to *someone* that I installed OpenSolaris 2009.06 onto my Toshiba NB205 netbook. I used an external USB DVD-RW for the installation. The only bit of hardware that was not supported out of the box (so to speak) was the Atheros 9285 WiFi radio. I downloaded and installed the SUNWarn package (0.2), so that was an easy fix. I still haven't convinced nwamd to connect to my local WPA2 network at home (I did use dladm to set the WPA2 password and such), but it's not a huge problem, and I'm sure I'll get it squared away at some point. Otherwise, everything seems to work fine - compiz works just fine with a modicum of effects (just enough to not look so bland ;) ) and FF 3.5.2 and OO 3.1 start and run surprisingly well and of course bluefish works quite well (within the constraints of the small screen). I do have 2GB of RAM installed (system monitor reports 1.1 of 2GB in use) and i'm using an older, slower SATA I hard disk I had laying around, but that's it. Once I get the documents and dev directories off of my original 160GB, I'll re-install over that. I'm quite, quite pleased with the ease of installation and the level of support provided out of the box for this little monster. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
