• Installed SXDE 9/07
This morning I installed the latest release of Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE) 9/07. This release includes Solaris 11 (Nevada) build 70b, Sun Studio 12, and lots of apps for developers.
You can order the free DVD or download the whole thing.
The most important feature for me is the new installer, which has an "Upgrade" option.. it only installs updated packages, preserving any customizations, user files, and 3rd party installed apps. I've been using SXDE 5/07 since July, and I didn't want to wipe out my customizations (or my Windows/XP partition).
But, just in case, I did backup my home directory.
It took 2.5 hours to backup to DVD and then do the upgrade install from the SXDE 9/07 distro DVD. But it was a breeze! It really worked.
It's great to see all the progress being made by the Solaris team to provide a flexible and robust solution for developers on laptops. I'm using my Solaris laptop 100% of the time now, and it's great!

hi Richard:
I am a student from Taiwan. May I ask some questions? Have you ever seen other members who write open source? If I want to study open source area, I'll release some questionary for developer. Do they want to fill questionary on https://www.opensolaris.org/os/communities/#all
I looked for many website to connect the groups who write open source for people and I find it(https://www.opensolaris.org/ ) to gather many developer. If I want to put questionary on the website, I have to connect the community manager to permit me doing.I realize you are one of tools community leaders, So I leave this message to request.^^
sorry, I write here unexpectedly and my English is not good. ><""
Please forgive me.^^
