Re: [osol-discuss] Netbook Edition of OpenSolaris?

Hi Jason, Sounds to me like what you're after is StormOS (stormos.org) or even NexentaCore (nexenta.org). NexentaCore is basically Ubuntu Server Edition with an OpenSolaris kernel. StormOS adds a usable XFCE based desktop environment and a few other things to it. Andy. 2010/1/11 Jason Harvey
