will be a lot of communication going on over the next 6 months or so on

Jan,
thank you very much!
Max Brunning told me about this article, and I read it a year ago. Sorry
for not mentioning this earlier. The article is nice, but too short. For
example, there no information about ZFS, nothing related to file systems
performance, etc. So, this article is a perfect
Right. And in addition to autotools, such port complicates further ON
merges which will unavoidably lead to higher rate of errors/bugs.
But because GNU/kFreeBSD exists, I do not see why GNU/kOpenSolaris can't

yes, you are right - it's what I usually do :) Let's hope to find more

To me, this development is just yet another Debian architecture and
sure, some in Debian community will like. It also connects to Nexenta in
many ways - which is good for us. We can't stop such port from happening
- so I think we should embrace it as a secondary lefty architecture.

Hi all,
I just connected a 1000 GB drive to the built in SATA of my main board.
Knoppix (from March 2008) has no problems reading the disk and returns 110
MBytes/s.
On Knoppix I see a scsi disk /dev/sda.
Solaris build 89 does not even see the controller.
Any chance to get this to work?
Stefan,
yes, this is close to what I am looking for, but I try to read this
deeply. Thank you for the link, I lost it a year ago!
If anybody has more links to point me on, please, let me know!

Debian's main issue is that parts of Sun's libc are not open (mostly
libc_i18n; they require all bits to be open). Having seen the issues
kFreeBSD has had with using glibc with their kernel, I'm not sure if

The kFreeBSD port has had a lot of considerable issues with porting
software. Remember, we'd need to port the ON tools such as the ZFS

This poses an interesting question then. With this, we could, in
theory dump the ON userland, and go pure GNU, more inline with the
other Debian/Ubuntu ports. That being said, I still feel diversity is
a strength, and is it still Solaris if we dump the userland (and with

If I might state my opinion, I believe diversity is a strength and choice is
a good thing. If some people want to go for Solaris libc, let them do so;

I don't have a problem with two separate ports. Like for people who

Firefox 3 in u97 is broken.
You can download a contribute Firefox 3.0.1 on mozilla.org as a
workaround.

It will be fixed in u99.
