And I like this OS. <br>Due to changes that Solaris community (including as users as developers) had to live through the last year I have<br>few questions:<br>Will it live? I mean will OpenSolaris/Indiana (and SunOS kernel exactly ) _progress_? Not only live out it´s last days.<br><br>Now I´m using OpenIndiana 148 on Samsung Q70. They appear wonderful symbiosis!<br>But freshly downloaded build 151 even DID NOT START on modern Acer Aspire TimeLineX.<br>As I think it means that SunOS kernel 5.11 is really old for our days. It does not support Intel GMA built in Core i5 and maybe<br>it even does not fully support Core i5 itself, it does not support nVidia Optimus technology, and very very much modern<br>NICs, Sound Cards, protocols, filesystems etc. It (I´m sure) does not support USB3.0, and what´s about SSD?<br><br>So, I see the main direction to work in - is upgrading the kernel. Very very hard, strong, power kernel upgrade.<br>Are there such plans in community?<br></p></div></div></div><br><hr></BODY></HTML>
