Ok, I'm sorta wondering what the HECK this thing is. It says that it is a mix bewteen Linux and Opensolaris. Dont gett me wrong, I'm all for it, I'm just curious about it.


Is it possible to dual boot Ubuntu and nexenta? And if so, can the two have the same home directory? Thanks:P

Oh so it runs Solaris software. Cool - thanks for the 20 word quote.

Haha, no problem. I don't know if you can dual-boot them but there is no reason why you can't try :D

Yeah. It's based on Ubuntu and opensolaris, so it must be fun to try:popcorn:

On that same topic... or not, is it possible for me to add Jolicloud to my netbook in a dual boot and share the same home directory?
