There is no such link to a "most stable version" of OpenSolaris-based releases. However, the closest thing to it is the link to the "Solaris Express Developer Edition." If you read the description on the downloads page, you'll note that the Developer Edition is only updated every few months and receives more testing than the "Solaris Express Community Edition." > I was looking for snv_70b.

It would be best to ask on opensolaris-discuss as this list doesn't get monitored by as many people. > Thanks for pointing me to website-discuss.

Sun currently doesn't have the resources in place to allow access to older versions. As such, only the most current releases of SXCE and SXDE are guaranteed to be available once posted. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
