 Not the monthlies yet (it's not April yet), but three pictures specifically to prove to Mith and Tanny that we do have sunny days in Belgium.  Check the Miscellaneous gallery ... 

 I'm experimenting with OpenSolaris in a virtual machine in order to get some more hands-on experience with Crossbow, Containers, ...

Just to make sure : this is not a guide / how-to.  These are notes to remind myself of what I did.  If you mess up your system by doing anything described here, that's your problem.  If I mess up my system ... well ... I have a backup ;-)

First of all : BFU (aka Blindingly Fast Upgrade)

1. I got BFU from here : dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/ (it's the SUNWonbld.i386.tar.bz2 file, for i386 in my case)
2. Then download the Crossbow bits from here : www.opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots/
3. Extract the BFU archive and install it (after removing any possible older version via pkgrm) : 
   pkgadd -d . SUNWonbld
4. Add BFU to the path via ~/.profile :
   export PATH=/opt/onbld/bin:/opt/onbld/bin/i386:$PATH
   export FASTFS=/opt/onbld/bin/i386/fastfs
   export BFULD=/opt/onbld/bin/i386/bfuld
   export GZIPBIN=/usr/bin/gzip
   
   
5. Source your .profile again or re-login, extract the crossbow bits and get bfu running:
   bfu /rpool/crossbow/nightly-nd
6. When all is done and you end up in ksh, don't forget to run the Automatic Conflict Resolution script :
   /opt/onbld/bin/acr
7. There you go ... reboot, admire your new GRUB entry and enjoy Crossbow!

The ones for March are taken and added to the gallery ... on time this time :-)

I just posted the February pictures ... taken on the day with the nicest weather of the entire month: the 14th.  There's some reflection in the glass, but hey ... that's how good the weather was ;-)

The ones for March ... well ... I should make them this weekend :P
