Hello,
It is good to see that there will be clean OpenSolaris distribution with kernel
and graphical desktop without any other software, but there some big problems
about which is need to discuss.
Why not to use Gentoo model to allow people to adjust custom installation disk?
As we see Ubuntu is
As we see Gentoo Hardware Requirements for Minimal CD is 486 processor and 64Mb
RAM.
Such requirements must be for Solaris too!

Hi,
486 processor with 64mb is toaster. If you would to use
solaris/opensolaris you'll need to buy personal computer.
best regards

And a 486 with 64 MB is not a personal computer?

Yup, you are right.
Mostly there are tiny distros for these kinds of machines.

Hi xlucas,
In my opinion your attitude regarding OpSol is wrong.
Let me explain: Do you know these "machines" http://www.soekris.com ?
The hackers and tinkerers I know love

I disagree, and vehemently at that. The only qu
hi,
yes, 486 with 64mb is not a personal computer for Solaris. :) 486

Hmmm, perhaps you should look around http://opensolaris.org/, you'll find
there's a discussion list called "appliances", and Solaris running on an
appliance is a worthy goal
Hi Gueven
sorry i forgot that exists embeded platform :) I think soekris boards
is not playground for Opensolaris. Soekris board is very good hardware
for routers, wi-fi ap etc... but this playground is for BSD like
distros or some linux distros.

ChorusOS was his own OS that Sun acquired. They also acquired Cobalt systems
which ran RedHat Linux ported to the MIPS processor.
Both product lines were killed shortly thereafter, however ChorusOS has been

No. If they killed my sparc32 machines, you have to deal with the
loss of your 486es as well. If there is to be legacy support in
opensolaris, the first priority MUST be sparc32, given that it was the
last to fall (sparc32 was only fully pulled as of sol10).
