Checking out Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris
I've never really played with Solaris before. I've looked at it once or twice, briefly, but that was about it. The other day I downloaded a vmware image for Nexenta GNU/OpenSolaris, one of these OpenSolaris-based distributions that apparently uses a lot of GNU software.
My first impressions are this: the boot was extremely quiet. That's ok, but I wasn't sure what was happening at first. Then I get in, start poking around a bit, and decide to run their update utility. Says I have to run "apt-get install -f". That's a clear sign something is borked.
Sure enough, apt wants to remove all of GNOME. So I let it (it's a vmware image, after all... no harm there). Ok, so now my install is ok, but I'm in GNOME in a gnome-terminal, and apparently all these programs are gone and I'd kinda like to have them back. Do you think apt tells me where the problem is?

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
