Development Release: OpenSolaris 2008.11 RC2 |
| David Comay has announced the availability of the second release candidate for OpenSolaris 2008.11: "The OpenSolaris development package repository has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_101b, including major fixes to the Caiman 'Slim Install' and the Image Packaging System (IPS). This build is the second release candidate build for the OpenSolaris 2008.11 release. For this build, the recommended minimum memory size is 512 MB or greater. Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do so using the 'image-update' facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the 'Update All' facility of the Package Manager GUI. This build includes the latest NVIDIA graphics driver, version 177.80. This updated driver no longer supports a number of legacy chipsets. When updating systems with such chipsets, one can either remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or to continue using an accelerated driver, legacy SVR4 packages are available."

| About OpenSolaris |
| Indiana is a binary distribution of an operating system built out of the OpenSolaris source code. The distribution is a point of integration for several current projects on OpenSolaris.org, including those to make the installation experience easier, to modernise the look and feel of OpenSolaris on the desktop, and to introduce a network-based package management system into Solaris. The resulting distribution is a live CD install image, and is fully permissible to be redistributed by anyone. |
