Solaris Express uses GRUB, the same bootloader as most Linux distros, so if you

As far as I know you'd be using the same camera and scanner software in Solaris

We had another great turnout for the FROSUG meeting on
September 20. There were around 50 people in attendance.
We are looking forward to the next meeting on October
25th and hope you will join us.
That's excellent news Alex! You seem to have come a long way.
Which repositories are you using for synaptic? Do you have your own or are you going to integrate with Debian's?
Please send out a notice when you launch (You may want to consider posting to the gnu-opensolaris list as well).

Thank you for all the help, this is by far the most helpful forum I have ever
chanced upon, I will be using it again in future, and might even ask some less
noob-like questions as I progress (maybe even answer some).
Thank you all,
Thomas
