Hey shrek - I'd use it mate for sure. ATM I'm using open indiana on the desktop though so I'd have to see how mch mileage I can get. I'm not the best coder (echo Hello World!/n/r).

Thanks! No real programming experience is required to set it up. Even in the pre-alpha state you will at most have to compile the WM and a few utilities after installing the dependencies. The window manager and associated utils and the image viewer build with simple makefiles. You should not have to configure anything there by hand unless you want to change the install directory.

This is the package list I have for Debian I run on clean installs (excluding extra apps) to prepare them. The names might be a little different on OpenIndiana.
