I think that for the lulz one day, I'll post a concept of an "Illumos/BSD Phone" on XDA-Developers or some other mobile development forum, and ask for feedback.

...The laughter will echo throughout the world.

Let 'em laugh, my friend. Life is too short to not share cool ideas and work on cool stuff. If you think it's worth doing, do it. And not every idea has to be a 100 million unit idea. There's room for open source hardware stuff, hobbyist stuff etc. Check out the Firefox phones. They may sell a few units, but if they make the folks that use them happy, great!

I just installed it 3 days ago because I feel that linux is too unreliable. Locks up too often. When you backspace too many times on terminal, the pc-speaker beeps and the system crashes. Happens very often. Also happens under gedit. ( maybe it's just pc-speaker-beep drivers for my chipset? )

I'm kind-of off-put by the whole 'hipsterification' of unix, and share sentiments with hamei. But I relaly like the idea and think it's 'cool', regardless.

Also It would be nice if install scripts that worked under solaris 10 still worked the same way in openindiana...
And they had better documentation...........

My only gripe with Illumos is the lack of video buffer support especially some of the XVR series, but hopefully some bright spark will figure it out and provide an actual patch or package :)

This is simply because we have become quite good at making our users want to kill our own targets rather than themselves :lol:
