Greetings All, Hope that everyone is doing well.
While still working on my smartos-based cluster, which is coming along more and more, I decided to explore and investigate various Illumos based dialects. In particular, I was looking for the smallest footprint and stable release that I could find. In my search, I came across a number of Illumos based distributions (OpenIndiana, OmniOS, Nexenta, etc.) but all of them seem to have, or not have as the case may be, some core features that I was seeking which may have brought me back to SmartOS for this general exploration. Basically, it seems that SmartOS has the smallest footprint, from what I can tell, and seems to be better, at least for what is does as a hypervisor which is what I am interested in as well. it also seems that all, or most of the distrobutions, like OpenIndiana can use the SmartOS package system and repositories and I think that I read that all of them can also use it as they are all Illumos-based. Long story short, I think that I would like to take a copy of SmartOS and see about adding a very small XServer and just one X-application to the global zone. With this in mind, I was wondering if anyone has done something similar, or might be able to offer some guidance as I am really coming from the Windows/Linux world and my Solaris background is very limited. Thanks in advance, Lonnie ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
