I was mistaken in my last post about Openindiana. It appears to compile, but never reaches the point where the final packages are made. It's probably a problem with my sunstudio setup -I don't feel like chasing it down when there's alternatives to play with.
I'm very fond of NetBSD -have been for fifteen or so years now.
Sadly, for nine and a half years I haven't been able to get it to work with real hardware. At first it didn't like my sata drives (in a computer now long-since gone), these days it doesn't like my wifi or my wireless mouse.
...thank God for virtualization, huh?

The next task is to build firefox, fluxbox and some other packages that make life under NetBSD easier.
I love the fact I can set this up to build on another computer and do things on my desktop while it runs. It's a lot better than doing everything all on one -it's almost decadent!
