[OpenIndiana-discuss] Proposal: OpenIndiana Stable Branch

[Gregory Youngblood]

+1

With maybe the addition of a  workstation target that does not install some of the server specific packages as a fourth option.

The more I think about it, maybe the foundation could be a minimal text only base install, plus ssh, the minimum needed to get the system up. then on top of that you can add one or more of server, gui-server, or workstation layers.

I can imagine roughly three useful layers (call them and separate them as
you want) :

* a server layer - no desktop, just a stable set of packages to build
   a (mail | web | database | ...) server with a text console interface.
* a server desktop layer, with just the minimum window packages to
   manage servers with within an window environnement. This may be installed
   on the top of server layer.
* a desktop application layer, with all "office" applications (openoffice,
   thunderbird, ...). This may be installed on the top of previous layers.
