OpenIndiana Hipster 2020.04 is here

We have released a new OpenIndiana Hipster snapshot 2020.04. The noticeable changes:
  • All remaining OI-specific applications have been ported from Python 2.7 to 3.5, including Caiman (slim_source) installer.
  • Installation images now don’t ship Python 2.7, however some software can still depend on it.
  • GCC 7 is used as the main system compiler now.
  • Libreoffice 6.4 was added.
  • PKG was updated to use rapidjson instead of simplejson for json processing which reduced memory consumption on operations with large package catalogues.
  • A lot of packages were updated.
More information can be found in 2020.04 Release notes and new medias can be downloaded from http://dlc.openindiana.org.

  Hipster 2020.04 The latest snapshot of OpenIndiana Hipster is 2020.04. It is available in three versions: a live DVD with a graphical installer which installs a full desktop environment; a text installer which is intended for server installations; and a minimal installer which only delivers a minimal set of packages. Each version is available both as a DVD ISO and as a USB image. Please note that the primary mirror is capped so downloads are slower; use regional mirrors instead.  http://dlc-origin.openindiana.org/   Screenshots and wallapers      Downloads, Screenshots, and wallpapers   http://www.openindiana.org https://www.flickr.com/photos/67976888@N06/

Android tethering to Openindiana laptops

One major problem with using Opensolaris was the lack of drivers for mobile 3G modems However with the development of tethering on Android (Froyo 2.2 and above) Openindiana can now been used very easily with laptops on the 3G/4G networks. In Android go to settings,wireless networks,check the boxes marked tethering and mobile networks.This will create a mobile hotspot from your Android Phone. In OI go to the network section at the top right of the screen and manually select the HTC network in this case.You may have to wait a few seconds for it to configure. A notification will show at the top of your screen to show you are connected to the 3 G network via your Android phone.
