Just thought I'd say that I'm impressed with Tribblix. :)

For a while now I've been working on a new distribution based
on OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana/Illumos.
The aim is to produce something that's traditionally styled but has
much more up to date components than Solaris 10 (or the current
derivatives, come to that). Packaging is SVR4 (underneath, anyway);
Tribblix being a part-time hobby project means that progress tends
to come in fits and starts, but I am moving along.
Milestone 2 of Tribblix is based directly on Illumos. It was based
on Illumos before, of course, but by proxy. Now I'm generating the
packages that come from illumos-gate directly
Work continues on putting more flesh on the bare bones that
is Tribblix. The latest update - Milestone 4 - is now available.

which opens up a new range of opportunities. (For those who
missed it, one

A little more work, and Tribblix has reached its first milestone,
as described briefly here:

There's still work to fill out the desktop, but Xfce is there and
works.
I'm currently attempting to build LibreOffice, which would close
This is great work Peter. I look forward to having a chance to play with your

Thank you for your efforts Peter.

Aside from some reading, I really haven't played with LibreOffice. Are
there any feature that they have developed that are not in the
OpenOffice fork? Or maybe some licensing advantage?
At lest at this time, I am not certain what LibreOff

Apart from a long list of new and updated packages, this version:

Tribblix, and presumably other distros).

I thought it worth giving a quick update on progress in Tribblix.

The major milestone this time around is the new loader, which seems to

I'm intrigued that somebody actually bothered to use
the UFS option. Not that I don't think it's worthwhile,
but it's probably unusual.

Hi Peter,
I just wanted to let you know that I did try installing tribblix under vbox
for the first time since I got into this mailing list.
I got stumbled-up in the fdisk section. The usage of 'format' is a rather
