[OpenIndiana-discuss] [XStreamOS-discuss] Sonicle XStreamOS repo and XStream Desktop in progress

[Paolo Marcheschi]

That's Great !
So this will be a  Desktop alternative distribution to OI ?

Since It is based on Illumos It could be the "reboot" we are looking for ?

I'm looking forward to try the Desktop version of XtreamOS.
