Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi All,

    We're going to hold our 4rd meeting next week - on Tuesday
    29th August.

    Here are the details for the meeting:

    Topic : InstallFest!
    Date : Tue 29th August
    Time : 6:30pm onwards
    Location: Sun Offices, East Point Business Park

    Rather than give a talk, our main topic this month will be an
    InstallFest - we're going to show you how to install the
    OpenSolaris-based distribution of your choice. We'll have an install
    server at the meeting with all of the various distributions available:

    * Solaris Express
    * Belenix
    * Nexenta
    * SchilliX
    * MarTux


    There will be experts on-hand[1] who can help you to install and
    configure your desktop or laptop, as well as a bunch of machines for
    burning ISO images of these distributions, just bring along your own
    blank DVD-R, CD-R or CDRW media and we'll burn copies of OpenSolaris for
    you.

    We'll also have available the latest OpenSolaris sources & compilers, so
    you get to use our bandwidth for free, if you want to start
    investigating the source.

    We're starting the meeting slightly earlier this month to accommodate
    the additional time it'll take to install machines, but don't worry if
    you can't quite make our start time.

    And, for you hardware-heads, our install server will hopefully be a
    Thumper (SunFire x4500) so if you're interested in experiencing what
    48-disks-in-a-4u-box is like at full throttle, you won't want to miss
    this opportunity: we'd be happy to give an ad-hoc demo of the machine,
    and what was done in OpenSolaris to support it - ZFS runs pretty nicely
    on a 48-disk machine.


    Thoughts and comments are welcome, and otherwise, see you on August
    29th! Tell your friends, and feel free to publicise this meeting
    everywhere!


    [1] as well as copies of the Sys Rescue CD just in case - make a backup
    before we start playing with your machines!
