Hi David, Check out NetBSD's pkgsrc system (it's not just for NetBSD). Lots of useful stuff. - Source based, however you can build binary packages and distribute those - can create SysV Solaris packages (not sure how well that works) It's quite nice. Obviously, there's also blastwave.org,

AFAIK, the _only_ reason for SX:CR (as contrasted to regular Solaris Express releases) is to provide the environment suitable for building the source. That it might have most (but not all) of what it takes to be cool on a non-critical desktop (as well as for anything one might want to do with th
