Greetings All! I'm pretty stoked that this is happening, I've been waiting for it for years. Hopefully its not too late to make a difference.
All that aside, I'm preparing to evaluate opensolaris on an intel box, and have a few goofy questions that I haven't been able to gather from the faq or from searching this list: 1. Where's the application/utility software repository? I'd like to browse whats working, with an eye toward replacing my existing freebsd installation with opensolaris. This means I'd need a minimal desktop, apache, tcl/tk, ruby, perl, php, sendmail, mysql, ssh, vnc suite, and samba at minimum; is this an unrealistic expectation at present? 2. How much of the intallable application base is in common with gnome? essentially, are all gnome apps available on the gnome desktop under opensolaris? if not, what are the porting hurdles in very general terms? 3. Aside from the machine partitioning, how's security? Assuming its all working, I'll need the sendmail, ssh and apache services to face the web -- am I gonna leave my hindparts exposed to the breeze by doing something like this?
