Good evening all, 2008.11 just caused too many issues with my hardware, so I took a sabbatical. Now after the 2009 Release, I'm giving O.S. another look. Before on 2008.11, I got the multimedia apps I needed from lifewithsolaris.jp, now, there is no multimedia there. If I port, I need to have

I have copied the tutorial into the Wiki. Now it would be great if the Desktop community could link to it. I am going to try to get some picture to put into it there. I also think that it is important to have a way for someone to download it if they want to print it out and read it that

I have been using OpenSolaris now for almost a year and I also have Solaris 10 and SXCE on some other computers just to learn more about the OS. My main computers all run OpenSolaris. I don't know anything about servers or sparc chips and all that, I just use OpenSolaris as a desktop OS.
