Package system is down even when you get the LAN driver working. Ok, SUN you are a step to late in gathering this marketshare, while we appreciate (as a majority) your attempt at the open source market.... stick with what works for you. Backing existing distros would further your reputation much more than releasing a broken (not well thought out) distro. No LAN support.. enough said.

Though I'm running Solaris Express Developers edition on the laptop I'm trying to install OpenSolaris on. It's a boat load of fuck, to quote the angry nintendo nerd, BTW I can install Belenix on it, but f&cking sound doesn't work. Belenix live works, but my damn wireless stops. I'm sticking with SXDE.

I think it should solve audio related issues on solaris. >>> Pathetic . One crippled release after another .The lack of support for lan cards is particularly pathetic . How is one to even attempt fixing problems with the OS if the garbage can't even do the basic task of connecting to the internet ? Can it be that hard to include drivers for common hardware that has been out for years now ? If you can't do any better Sun , stop wasting your time and my bandwidth. + Its slow as hell! After using FreeBSD 7.0 on 64MB RAM and being used to running Ubuntu Server, CentOS I find opensolaris to be very slow even on 1GB boxes. It is just me? Lets hope they do better next time! -- dsk Hi Brian,

>>> next to no drivers for lan cards

Agreed about the LAN drivers.

>>> next to no audio drivers

For audio did you try OSS (http://www.opensound.com/)?
I think it should solve audio related issues on solaris.

>>> Pathetic . One crippled release after another .The lack of support
for lan cards is particularly pathetic . How is one to even attempt
fixing problems with the OS if the garbage can’t even do the basic
task of connecting to the internet ? Can it be that hard to include
drivers for common hardware that has been out for years now ? If you
can’t do any better Sun , stop wasting your time and my bandwidth.

+ Its slow as hell!
