The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!
* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!
* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy
* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.
* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)
This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

馃搥 OpenIndiana 2025.10 ISOs Available For Download / Phoronix
Solaris 10 was a total revelation back in the day. Kids these days will never witness something like that.
Cynicism has killed most of genuine curiosity.

I don't know why but I never looked at the illumos based operating systems. I think I will change that and try out either OpenIndiana or SmartOS and compare them with Linux and BSD.
Areas I want to compare:
- Availability of software
- Simplicity of system management
- General system usage
- Security and Storage features
Are there any illumos users or admins out there with an idea on which things I should try out?

"Don't make the mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison" 馃榿
I'm guessing this quote is pretty famous. Here's a good presentation by Bryan Cantrill about the history of SunOS, Solaris and OpenSolaris, up to the point that Oracle tried to kill it and illumos happened.
