[OpenIndiana-discuss] openindiana more popular

[ken mays]

The nice thing to know is that OpenIndiana is already popular to those people tracking OpenSolaris.

1. Games

All of the major popular FOSS games were porting to Solaris/OpenSolaris at one time or another. Patches were created work with the libUSB API so that we could enable USB-capable controllers (i.e. joysticks, mice, keyboards).
OpenIndiana features the Nvidia drivers for OpenGL 2.1 conformance which exceeds 98% of the graphic requirements for most open source cross-platform 3D gaming specifications. The Boomer audio framework is a variant of 4Front Technologies Open Sound System (OSS) 4.x audio framework. Most
games using legacy sound APIs should work or require small modifications to use Boomer.

2. A server-focused distribution 

Although seen as a desktop distribution by many people, OpenIndiana is currently a server-focused OS distribution.
