Micellaneous Solaris stuff..

Lots of things have come up in the last few days that demand to be blogged about.

First off.. theres Compiz packages for JDS! Show your friends things Vista can't do! You need a minimum of Solaris Express build 60 and an Nvidia Card. More instructions here on Moinak's blog.

Here's a screenshot!

On the BeleniX front, expect the 0.6 release in a couple of weeks. New stuff I'm exited about:

• Compiz/Beryl possibly built in!..
• Ability to save your changes back to writable LiveMedia like USB. More ubiquitous computing
• Encryption support for USB.. all changes will be encrypted. Work on this is ongoing.
  
• Performance enhancements.
  

A few fellow students from MSRIT have ported GNU parted to Solaris, and this will help in porting various linux installers to Solaris (Woot!)

Win 5000$ playing a wonderful flash game! This is a promotional campaign for Sun Studio, you'll need to have that installed to finish the game.
