[OpenIndiana-discuss] Cannot get static IP network setup to work

[Dmitry G. Kozhinov]

Sorry for being off-topic...

I have already said before that GUI was invented to make life easier for 
all, including server admins. I would setup static IP address using 
"System | Administration | Network" menu command in Gnome. And this is 
actually the way I did it on my server.

So I vote for (stable) Server GUI distribution of OI.

Dmitry.
