Although me too I'm one of those dinosaurs ...

My needs are just a OS stable enough to run on a infrastructure server.

Although I understand people wanting a full operational desktop environment, I 
don't care too much. For me (but it's just a personnal opinion), I want a 
openindiana environment just to be able to have a multi-windowing system (in 
fact many terminals on the console).

For the moment, I work on two workstations, one running an old version of 
Solaris and the other running Linux (a laptop), but I surely can switch one of 
them to OpenIndiana.

All this to say that, IMHO, it's important to release, as soon as possible, a 
stable "server version". A stable desktop version may be released later.

It's not a problem for me to add another "desktop based workstation" to work on 
and test.

Regards,

José-Marcio
