Looks great!

Bonus comment -here’s another market niche for opensolaris to fill (besides the the home media storage appliance idea I posted previously ):

http://www.apple.com/finalcutserver/ <— use opensolaris, ZFS, and NMM (http://www.networkmultimedia.org/) to build kickass webbased asset management and storage applications). That and the right investments in Blender.org, LiVES, kino, FilmGimp etc should allow you to take away ~10-15% of Final Cut Pro market — using longish term “adoption led” viral approach and all that

UX-admin: We’ll have free CD shipping. There’s 40,000 CDs that will be ready and waiting for those who want a CD shipped to them. Obviously the download is going to be quicker than waiting 4-6 weeks for a CD, but the option is definitely there (along with mirroring/bittorrenting).

The design mockup is pretty cool, especially the simplicity and layout. I still don’t know what to think of the bubble-logo (in the upper left corner), though.

It would be nice if one could, for instance, go to the “commercial” branch (opensolaris.com) of OpenSolaris, and order DVDs for some minimal sum of money, kind of like what Ubuntu (or whoever) has for delivering free CDs/DVDs to anywhere in the world.

Maybe this could be even turned into a profit, say a $1 profit per DVD?

Very nice! I like the simplicity (ala Mozilla.com), it looks as if (going by the links that we will be pointing downloads back to OpenSolaris.org…hopefully the marketing/design folk will choose not to do that as the inconsistant interface could be a bit of a turn off. Perhaps the only link back to osol.org should be the share portion…Thats my two cents
