There's a known problem in snv_130, fixed in snv_131: Any idea when an OpenSolaris Indiana version based on snv_131 will be put on genunix.org and in the /dev repository so we can either install or pkg image-update to it? I've been having a really rough time with updates from snv_111b to the

Hello. I wouldn't advice OpenSolaris for critical servers. You should pay for support or use sometimes very unstable /dev releases. If you like zones + ZFS, you could look at Linux configuration (e.g. LVM + OpenVZ or LVM+kvm), it would be more familiar to you) or (if you want something new and

What's easiest is probably whatever you're used to, which is to say, once one is used to something, most differences in what's easier vanish. There are a lot of editors like joe, pico, and the like that are easier than vi. But once you've used vi for long enough, you really don't notice.

You don't have to use /dev - you can stick with stable releases which is default if you install OS 2009.06 Then you *can* buy a support for it from Sun. Hello Robert, That was my intention. One of the reasons for going the OpenSolaris route is Sun VDI. I'm planning to move all of my

The cover is required to be on, in order to properly duct the cooling airflow across the right parts. Just be careful you don't burn up your server by taping down some switch to trick the server into operating without a cover. On 12/24/09 3:10 PM, Tom Chen chento...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi,
