Hi Yes, Opensolaris can be made to run on certain netbooks. There are not as many drivers for it, however, so you need to choose your netbook more carefully. You will not be able to use Voxin on Opensolaris, as Voxin is a Linux library. Keep in mind that Opensolaris is not Linux. They share similar concepts, but are not in any way products of the same code. Opensolaris does not use ALSA or Pulseaudio, though Pulseaudio can be made to work if you really want it. Opensolaris uses their own audio architecture, SADA, and also can use the OSS API as well. Unlike in Linux, there's not a bazillion audio standards bumping up against each other. There is one, SADA, and one compatibility layer for applications using the older OSS standard, and the two cooperate perfectly together. On Feb 19, 2009, at 20:23, josh wrote:
