On the desktop hipster is a "no crash stable beta". But you have to add some package to make it


Here is a script for that.

=========
#!/bin/ksh

#
# Compléments Gnome
#

pkg install \
system/install/locale \
image/gnome-backgrounds \
gnome/theme/background/os-backgrounds-extra \
gnome/media/sound-recorder \
desktop/keepassx \
image/viewer/gthumb \
image/editor/inkscape \
image/webcam/cheese \
web/editor/bluefish \
editor/diagram/dia \
image/scanner/xsane \
image/editor/gimp 

#
# Multimédia
#

pkg set-publisher \
-g http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-emcubered hipster-encumbered

pkg refresh --full
pkg install \
media/vlc \
gstreamer/plugin/bad \
gstreamer/plugin/ffmpeg \
gstreamer/plugin/ugly \
library/video/libdvdcss

#
# Bureautique
#

pkg set-publisher -g http://sfe.opencsw.org/localhostoih localhostoih
pkg install \
pkg://localhostoih/library/g++/icu \
pkg://localhostoih/system/library/g++/boost \
desktop/application/libreoffice4-desktop-int \
desktop/application/libreoffice4
