Hi Folks,

  We will be continuing on the "Getting Started with OpenSolaris"
theme.
So this time lets delve a little further and look at the actual system
and how you'd perform common tasks with it:

* Quick recap and update on removable media enhancements in B52+
* Post Install configuration tips:
- PATH Settings
- Default Shell
- Xorg Configuration - ouch! And support for Nvidia, Intel i815,i915

* Managing Services - Daemons, the OpenSolaris way
* Network Configuration - Manual process and using Inetmenu
* Getting software: Blastwave and Sunfreeware

And we may cover this if we have time or else in a subsequent meet:

* Bootup process and boot options (from GRUB), shutdown.
* SVR4 Packaging
* Basic User Administration

As usual suggestions are welcome and it will also be good to have
other community members giving talks on their experiences or topics
of their choice.

In addition we are planning a Solaris Express installfest for the BOSUG
members but Not during this meet - stay tuned.

Venue: Himalaya Conference Room, Grnd. Floor,
SUN Microsystems India,
Divyasree Chambers,
Shanthinagar, Off Langford Road,
Bangalore 560025.
Landmark: Shanthinagar Hockey Stadium.

Date:  Saturday, 20th Jan 2007.
Time:  6:00 PM onwards.

Regards,
Moinak.
