Just updated my Ultra20 to openindiana from b134. Flawless so far. Very nice Exactly the distro I was looking for (i.e. not much changed from opensolaris). I tried nexenta and it is not what I want, I am sure others want it though, so all power to them. I am sure they were using it

I need to leave solaris 10 because oracle is unwilling to supply security updates unless I pay somewhere in the range of 4000 dollars year to update my systems. I am a professor and use my sun hardware to serve websites and databases to the public as well as operate sunray's for colleagues.

Yeah, I know My problem is I need something that will just sit and run and when I need to update it wont break the sun-rays. I like ubuntu because potentially the lts release should do that. I may end up with centos on there since it looks like a modern ubuntu may not work as well as I

I think you may be right but I can't take that chance. I run websites and databases for 'real' institutions that would be monitored for license infringements (even if my applications are non-commercial and they institutions are non-commercial). If I were running this out of my house then I

To give you an idea of how self destructive this is, I am now moving all of my operations to ubuntu (not my opensolaris desktop/file server though!). Today I was able to get my sunrays running on 9.10 and tomorrow I will move them up to 10.04. I can buy licenses for my sunrays for 100 dollars

Excellent. I am glad to hear you think that may be valuable. Sadly though srss 4.2 does not work (easily, or even moderately easily with b134). Not saying somebody couldn't figure out why and create simple scripts to make it work though! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
