Mon Jun 14 2010 New Richard Lowe, a well known, long-time contributor to OpenSolaris has an interesting and useful contribution. In his own words: "Given that pkg.opensolaris.org/dev has ceased updating, BFU archives aren't available anymore, and people seem eager to get newer ON bits, I've put together a tarball containing a package depot of onnv_142 + pkg5 + caiman bits that should work, and at least slightly satisfy people".

Fri Jan 15 2010 OpenSolaris SXCE final release Build 130, is available now until the end of January 2010. This is the final release of SXCE that Sun will make available. After the end of January, no releases of SXCE (aka: Solaris Express Community Edition) will be available. Please grab a copy of the last release of SXCE (build 130) now. Even if you don't think you'll ever use the SPARC release, grab a copy now! SXCE will be missed. It's had one hell of a ride and has been the mainstay of the OpenSolaris project for many, many users since June of 2005. But, the price we pay for progress is disruption, and in the OS space, you innovate or die. For the SXCE die-hards out there - time to move on to OpenSolaris!.

Thur Aug 06 2009 KDE on OpenSolaris has always been popular - but Suns' decision to go with Gnome left the KDE community to fend for themselves - which they have done with aplomb! :) Today we are pleased to support the OpenSolaris K Desktop Environment Project and make available the Korona live DVD distribution, based on OpenSolaris 2009.06, which boots right into KDE version 4.3 RC3. tryit After downloading, please verify the checksums. Project Korona details are available here. Many thanks to Pavel Heimlich (aka hajma) for his help with getting this content to Genunix.Org!
Please provide your feedback to the project authors. Remember - it's always nice to get a "Thank You" from a stranger.

Wed Jul 22 2009 Want to setup your own (internal) IPS package repository for OpenSolaris 2009.06? If the answer is yes, then we have the files you need to make this happen. :) Caution: the IPS repository is big and getting bigger.. so you have two options: a) download a single 7.17Gb ISO image and mount it via the loopback file system (lofi) - unless you're one of the few users with the ability to burn a 7Gb ISO to a double layer DVD, or, b) download the two, smaller, ISOs that you can burn on two separate DVD disks. The two smaller, DVD sized ISOs are: osol-repo-0906-p01.iso (3.64Gb) and osol-repo-0906-p02.iso (3.57Gb). The details are available here. After downloading, please verify the checksums. Many thanks to our very own Shawn Walker for his help getting this data to Genunix.Org!
Note: Use either option a) or option b) above. You can't download the smaller ISO images and create the full ISO image. They are separate ISO images.

Answer: [courtesy of Dave Miner] "Improvements in lofi have allowed us to drop the primary language CD and go with only the global images". Question: Is this the future of OpenSolaris?
