Building Solaris - like a videogame, but not nearly as much fun.

No review of a videogame would be complete without screenshots (or an artist's rendition thereof).

No review of a new web browser, mp3 jukebox, or GUI editor would be complete without screenshots.

Heck, I've even seen screenshots in articles about cell phones.

But, I think this may be going just a bit too far. I don't speak Hungarian (or much of anything else for that matter, but I digress), but it looks as though this person has posted 100 screenshots of OpenSolaris being built, BFUed, and booted. Sadly, he ran out of pixels at the second grub screen, so we don't get to see the new OS actually come up. While less traumatic than the film breaking during the last reel of "The Usual Suspects", it leaves one without a sense of closure.

(Thanks to OS News for the link.)
