Getting started
OpenIndiana works on most x86 PCs (SPARC has Beta ISO’s, support Welcome).
From 2017.04 onwards, running on 32-bit systems is not supported anymore and the userland is being migrated progressively to 64-bit only. As usual, 32-bit libraries and core applications are still delivered and maintained for the sake of backward compatibility (but only when running a 64-bit kernel).
To check if your hardware is supported, you can refer to the illumos HCL and the OpenIndiana Community HCL; alternatively, you can boot a Live install media and run the Device Driver Utility (ddu).
For instructions regarding downloading, preparing and installing the images, please refer to the OpenIndiana Handbook.

These installations can be updated regularly using the Hipster repository, and receive security fixes. Starting with the 2017.04 release, the installation ISO and USB images are signed with OpenIndiana Release Engineering GPG key id DBE31887.
