First impression about Indiana -- OpenSolaris Developer Preview
Today, I installed indiana preview release (get it here) on an existing solaris partition. And the installation time is a little longer than I expected. The only one issue I met is, after the installation, grub was not installed properly. So, we have to use installgrub(1) to reinstall it on MBR. The root password on livecd is "opensolaris".
Currently the software package repository is still small (have a look at http://pkg.opensolaris.org.) Anyway, it's the first step (also an important step), and I believe it will lead opensolaris to bigger success.
BTW, you may try to install Glassfish packages via IPS, refer to http://wiki.updatecenter.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=MultiPlatformIPSPrototype.
Thank you for trying and for sharing the experience.

You're one of the first to download and try it out - way cool! :)

Hi Yong,
Would you be interested in trying to impart Chinese localization to OpenSolaris/Indiana?
Perhaps you could lay out the steps that will be required and some of us can do the work (& up our learning curve).

Hi, Wayne, currently, there are no Chinese locales and Chinese fonts available on Indiana Distribution. :(

This is very nice blog,and I think you are Chinese. So can you tell me how can I also get one Sun blog?
Thanks.
