Re: [osol-discuss] OpenIndiana - a new OpenSolaris Distribution!
I've just looked at it. It looks rather interesting. I've thought about migration from SXCE b97 to OpenSolaris 2010.x on our terminal (SRSS) servers. However, it didn't happen on obvious reason. Later we decided to wait for CentOS 6.0 and move there... It would allow us to use legacy SRSS terminals and to start deploying new LTSP-based terminals. Now I'm not so sure. There is a chance that legacy SRSS terminals will move to OpenIndiana. However, this decision can be made only after production release and careful testing... I would rather change SRSS terminals with LTSP ones completely, but it seems to be impossible in the nearest future. However, SRSS appliances die more and more often during last two years...

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenIndiana - a new OpenSolaris Distribution!
ON_147 is good enough for the initial Tuesday release of the OpenIndiana distro. The Illumos patch updates to ON_147 is planned for the following OpenIndiana distro release in Oct 2010. If you want to use the Illumos patched ON-147+ kernel release, you can give the Schillix 0.7.1i server distro a try. Both distros are very reliable for enterprise server usage within data centers and for daily desktop usage (moreso OpenIndiana for desktops/workstations/laptops). Handle as you would with an BETA OS distro in the data center (or home use). So far, the OpenIndiana distro is a 'rock solid' solution and a great evolution from the Opensolaris project. ~ Ken Mays --- On Sat, 9/11/10, Orvar Korvar knatte_fnatte_tja...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Orvar Korvar knatte_fnatte_tja...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] OpenIndiana - a new OpenSolaris Distribution!

Yes, I have my own licensed srss 4.2, I want to install it on newer versions of opensolaris. I have tried to shoe horn it with what I have found online but most of the hints and tricks stop at 2009 /06 for example http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRSS_4.1_on_OpenSolaris_2008.11#OpenSolaris_2009.06 They do have additions on how to get it going in later versions but I have not been able to get it to run.
