Last weekend I`ve been cleaning up the websites content and created some new pages. I also changed some settings on my site which lead to faster loading and less errors.
Next week I will continue to work on my site, next important change will be graphical. I will change the layout a bit to make it less boring.
On tuesday I watched the Illumos Announcement. The Illumos project is a community maintained derivative of the OpenSolaris ON source, including open source replacements for closed bits, and additional changes.
More information can be found at http://www.illumos.org
On thursday I watched a webinar about PostgreSQL 9.0; The Magic of Hot Streaming Replication. I actually found this presentation a bit boring since I didn`t saw anything spectacular.
Next week I`ve got one webinar on my schedue; Boosting Your Products’ Performance and Scalability with the FREE and Easy InnoDB Upgrade for MySQL 5.1.
I put some of my books for sale; if you`re interested you can leave a reply or use the form on the contact page.

Of course you can get an iso or usb image directly from opensolaris.com, and many other places, but if you want to upgrade from an existing OpenSolaris 2008.11 instance, here is how you can do that:

I personally prefer the OpenSolaris look for Gnome because it`s more clearly then Ubuntu`s Humanlooks.
It`s possible to install this theme under almost any system running Gnome.
The easiest way is installing the proper package from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Nimbus+(+Debian+and+Ubuntu+packages+)?content=70212
This site contains the packs for Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10 and Debian (both x86 and x86_64).
Another way is compiling and installing the latest version. This is how it goes!
Install the proper requirements and the source;
apt-get -y install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev intltool icon-naming-utils fakeroot devscripts debhelper build-dep gtk2-engines-clearlooks
wget http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/extras/nimbus/nimbus-0.1.2.tar.bz2
tar -xf nimbus-0.1.2.tar.bz2
Next step; compiling the source
./configure --prefix=/usr/
chmod +x debian/rules
Install the binary;
make clean
make
sudo make install
Select the theme in Gnome.
Thats it!
