Sun VDI 3 (part 1 of 3): Installation

Thursday Apr 16, 2009

Recently, I had the pleasure, together with my coworkers Mike and Joost, to have three machines available to install, configure, and play around with the new Sun VDI 3 (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 3).


I plan to create three entries for this:

  • Sun VDI 3 (part 1 of 3): Installation
  • Sun VDI 3 (part 2 of 3): Configuration
  • Sun VDI 3 (part 3 of 3): Usage


They way installation and configuration is now implemented in VDI 3 is sweet, and very easy to do.

If you're happy and familiar with using command line, the installation is extremely easy. Still even, if you're not using command line on a Unix based system very often, it is very easy.

Plenty more informtation about VDI 3 can be found here.

See below the first screencast, focusing on the installation:

Sun, Intel, and OpenSolaris

Friday Jan 23, 2009

As we all know, Intel is quite a big contributor to the opensolaris project.

Here's a short, but great summary by our friend Dave Steward at Intel, of the things they contributed and achieved over the last couple of years !

Great job !
