OpenSolaris update
Well, it seems OpenSolaris.com fixed most of the issues I was bitching about. So, it now takes 2 clicks to get an OpenSolaris iso. I haven’t used it for too long but I figure I’d post this before someone inevitably points out how behind the times I am. These here tubes move fast! Other than that it seems an old version of X is being used as I experience nasty refresh shake at work. There was/is also an issue with the installation which would kick one back to a Grub prompt. This turns out to be faulty media from Lead Data Inc at least in this case. A freebsd iso worked fine, but I dumped the rest of the cd’s as Google juice reported other people having problems with said manufacturer. When I get sometime i’ll play around with OpenSolaris a bit more, seems like a solid effort was made to put together something usable.
