ONNV Flag Days, Heads-Ups and Project Integration History
OpenSolaris 2009.06 was easy to install. Reboot and you will see the familiar desktop of Gnome, a little polished by Sun. I run the latest Gnome release 2.26.3
Nautilus 2.26.3 is the file manager in the upgrade build snv 122 (original version of 2009.06 is 2.24.2).
The cube by Compiz is of course a part of OpenSolaris.
Write around the corner...
The ring switcher is one of many functions possible via Compiz.
Many graphics cards are now supported out of the box, e.g. my Nvidia card was found and correct drivers automatically installed, without tweaking for the right package in the repositories.
Songbird is a great player for playing internet radio...
...and SHOUTcast is integrated. Songbird is in my opinion actually a better solution for playing internet radio than what BMPx is.
Spotify plays well in OpenSolaris under WINE.
Elisa Media Center is an option for playing different kinds of multimedia.
It just works after install. It was quite the contrary that I never got Elisa working fully functional in any linux distribution.
For the office management you can choose between Adobe reader or Evince, the whole OpenOffice suite, choose Serena OpenProj or Planner for your project management.
If you for instance want to install GIMP, you can do it with the Package manager. Choose the package SUNWgnome-img-editor and click Install/Update, or you can type in the terminal:pfexec pkg install SUNWgnome-img-editor
as non-root, or as root:
pkg install SUNWgnome-img-editor
I bought Writer's Café, which is an excellent fiction writers program, available for Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris/OpenSolaris.
You can download a demo of Writer's Café for free. The demo is restricted to 20 cards and 20 scraps, and does not display the Fiction: The Facts e-book.
The network configures automatically, and wireless networks is easily found.
