to see this sort of effort being put into a reference OpenSolaris distribution
that was generic enough that people could create their own distributions off it.
It's worked really well for Ubuntu [look at all the variations], and I believe
it would encourage growth in the community as a whole.

 Anyway, i have FTP access @Home, not @Office. with speed just 5kbs :D

If you like to download distributions, this is really slow.

 In your opinion which one is more appropriate for server ? As i see
 Belenix is targeted to DESKTOP,
 i prefer Schilix, as it os Ok for not having XWindows etc.

I am using schillix as a NFS server for a bigger project ;-)


 Belenix advancement in its capability for remastering is great, but i
 am questioning its vision towards Desktop. For me, Linux is enough.
 Their desktop is excellence enough. Event remastering Knoppix is
 extremely simple.

the last time I checked, Belenix could not be remastered with different
content.

Would this be a reference distribution as in a sort of standards-base 
sort of thing?  That'd be kind of interesting to consider to maintain 
some cross-distribution compatibility as more distributions crop up.


I like the idea of providing a base reference distribution for other 
distributions to then easily derive from.


+1 from me.

cheers,
steve

Hi Eko,

If you can hack around with the scripts, you can add this to BeleniX, the
opensolaris LiveCD.

If your application isnt very big (under 1 mb).. you can easily add that to
the miniroot of BeleniX, so the distributed version (On USB or CD) will
contian your applications.

The upcoming release of BeleniX would make addition of utilities much
simpler.. but you'll have to wait for a couple of weeks.

Regards
Anil

I propose Belenix move towards Server. If thats the path, i will be very
happy with your remastering kit ...
