[illumos-Discuss] introduction

[Dmitry Yusupov]

Hi Blake,

according to Illumos presentation, its goal is to be a code 
consolidation, similar to kernel.org, not a distribution.

Distribution is usually includes end user support features like: 
software repositories, user support forums, IRC channels, etc.

Thanks to multi-packaging support (RPM, APT, IPS and SVR4) we are hoping 
community will build various distributions based on Illumos code pretty 
soon.

Having said that, we potentially will be releasing environment 
bootstrapping ISO, just as minimalistic as possible.
