Community-driven illumos Distribution
www.openindiana.org www.openindiana.org

OpenIndiana is a Illumos distribution and more or less the successor of OpenSolaris Unix. It comes in a desktop edition with a Mate GUI, browser, email and Office apps, a textedition similar to OmniOS bloody and a minimal distribution. Usually you install the desktop or text edition. Minimal lacks essential tools.

While OpenIndiana Hipster is ongoing Illumos (every pgk update gives you newest Illumos so quite a Illumos reference installation) there are annual snapshots that gives a tested startpoint for beginners. This is the main difference to OmniOS where stability with dedicated stable repositories is the main concern.

During setup, select your keyboard but keep language=en when using napp-it.

OpenIndiana updated Perl to v 5.38
This requires a current napp-it otherwise you get a Tty.io error in menu Users

For a new setup of OpenIndiana, you can use the 2024.10 iso

A pkg update of a running setup always gives the very newest Illumos.
