it’s pretty hard to tell what openindiana does. seems like they develop Hipster but what is that? there wasn’t any clear info after spending a few minutes on the site.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoIt’s basically an open source version of FreeNAS (minus the Corporate backing) as I understand it. Edit: I'm wrong. It is an Open Source version of Sun/Solaris.
- timc3 7y agoWould love to know how your thought process brought you to that conclusion! But no it isn’t. It’s more of a Solaris fork ( which I used to run)
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoThanks for clarifying. I was mistaken.
- samdixon 7y agoNav bar "openindiana - Community-driven illumos Distribution. Homepage has links to "What is Illumos" and "The Hipster Distribution" which is described as "Hipster is a codename for rapidly moving development branch of OpenIndiana". The article linked was simply a short list of patch notes, but if you navigate the site it has available information.

- wrigby 7y agoFrom what I can tell, OpenIndiana is to Illumos as Fedora is to Linux (GNU/Linux to be pedantic), and Illumos is based on OpenSolaris. So what we have here is essentially a Solaris distribution?
- dehrmann 7y agoIt's a marketing and naming failure that people are asking what this is.
- ktm5j 7y agoIf you go to their main page (the post link is just an announcement) then you can't miss the big print "What is Illumos" etc. You're failing to look ;P
