The Acer Ferrari 4000-series seems like an excellent notebook overall and more related directly to the OpenSolaris Pilot project. I also needed a another notebook that had the Nvidia 7800 because we have Solaris hardware-accelerated drivers for it (I hope to see more graphic manufacturers get the ball rolling on this one). I do have a question for you, Jörg. What are the possibilities of porting Schillix to a Genesi Pegasos II ODW now that you have the build kit?? This is a 'serious' open workstation design and I'd think the build kit would make a nice addition not the arsenal of OpenSolaris toolkits for it. I'm sure we have remaining issues - and you have that etc/svc issue to fix... It would also be nice to do this with Belenix and GNU/Solaris with an established packages count. ~Ken Mays __________________________________ Yahoo!
