this creates the impression that there are two different operating 
systems.  But the two install different subsets of the same pool of 
packages, versioned together.  after you're installed and running you 
can use pkg install to add the missing pieces of one to the other.

"desktop installer for openindiana x.y" and "server installer for 
openindiana x.y" would make it clearer that the difference lies 
primarily in the installer.
