Related question: since the thread has been scheduled (abuse of concept,
yet not quite a pun):
SmartOS as a VDI server (KVM, LX, native)? I am not looking to undertake
this, it is more an ask as a 'Point of Information'.
A simple search brought up a couple of "Do Not Use', 'None Shall Pass!',
warnings, at least in relation to Spice.
Thank You,
Will

Long story short, SmartOS is not a workstation OS and there is no
infrastructure to support a local non-text display off the video card
in the host you're running SmartOS. It's simply the wrong tool for the
job.

Hi, this is my first post here.
I recently bought an i7 desktop for personal use and I'm thinking
of booting with SmartOS instead of a traditional OS.
Platform wise, I intend to use Linux
(Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/Slackware ...) alongside Windows 7.
The box has 16GB RAM, 256GB(?) SSD and nVidia Quadro K2200 gfx card.
I'm planning to use OpenGL and CUDA for AI and video projects and
hoping to avoid platform specific code as far as possible.
I have 2 or 3 years experience developing on Solaris 10 and am a
big fan of dtrace.
I'd be interested to hear any opinion on whether this is a) a
brilliant idea or b) a fool's errand. In particular I'm wondering
how SmartOS virtualization (and VMs in general) might cope with
the OpenGL/CUDA API's and direct access to texture memory etc. I
have zero experience of using VM's to access specialized hardware.
Cheers,
Jono
