    OpenSolaris

    Anyone tired to install it?
    I did on my second disk, but now I must configure my grub menu, so it will recognise Open Solaris.

    From Live CD Open Solaris looks nice, but I wanted to see if it's better then Ubuntu and what the ease of use is. I thought that my Kubuntu grub will be overwritten, but it isn't because it's on the other disk.
    (How could I possibly think that it will be overwritten)
    So could anyone help me with that.
    BTW my Kubuntu is on hda but Solaris is on sda. I know that I have to add it to grub.lst, just don't know what to write so it will work...

    What do you think about OpenSolaris is it an good OS or is still in development like BSD?
    I'm magnet for errors, problems and bugs...

    Re: OpenSolaris

    I tried installing it on my laptop but it wrecked my MBR so that nothing would boot. I had to use the SuperGrub CD to restore my MBR, then I used GParted to completely delete my Linux partitions so I could start over. (Dual boot with XP)

    By the way, my laptop is a little older.... it's a Compaq Presario 2170us. I tried Ubuntu 8.04 but it doesn't like my laptop's hardware, especially the older ATI card.

    I'm back to Kubuntu 7.10 and everything is once again quick and smooth.
