I totally agree. OpenIndiana describes the distro quite well, since it is the

lost to anyone not familiar with what OpenSolaris was.

I think a Sun reference would be fitting.

EclipseOS maybe?


HeliOS? ApollOS (Domain/OS? ;) ?

I think all the good Sun references are already taken. :)

LughOS?  BelOS? RaOS?  HathorOS?


How about FlareOS (offshoot of the Sun)

Hi Harry,


Simplest option would be something like

zfs list -t snapshot -o name -H -r filesystem/path > /tmp/snaplist.txt

edit /tmp/snaplist.txt to remove the snapshot you want to keep

for SNAP in `cat /tmp/snaplist.txt`
do
zfs destroy $SNAP
done

My syntax may be a little off with the for loop but I'm sure you get the
idea.

Cheers

Tim

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] No longer using OI Desktop

2015-06-04 Thread Tim Aslat
Hi all,

I have been using FreeBSD on desktop for about 10 years.  I fell in love
with the ports collection after running into binary package hell with
Redhat linux in the early 2000s, and decided it would make an
interesting desktop OS as well.

My only problem with FreeBSD as a desktop is video drivers.  Nvidia are
the only ones doing a half decent 3D accelerated desktop and I'm stuck
with binary drivers.  I was hoping that with AMD open sourcing the
drivers for ATI cards things would get better, but not luck on that
front just yet.

Also the fact that FreeBSD has root ZFS pool support makes things rather
easy on the maintenance front.

Cheers

Tim
