OpenSolaris Binary Distro

OpenSolaris Binary Distro is working towards creating a binary distribution of an operating system built out of the OpenSolaris source code. The distribution is a point of integration for several current projects on OpenSolaris.org, including those to make the installation experience easier, to modernize the look and feel of OpenSolaris on the desktop, and to introduce a network-based package management system into OpenSolaris.

The resulting distribution is a live-CD install image, and is fully permissible to be redistributed by anyone. It will also have the capability for developers to create their own, customized distribution based on OpenSolaris Binary Distro.

 
Main G11n OpenSolaris binary distro test goal is to test entire distribution and ensure the system is working and is usable from global perspective, taking into account wide variations in regions, languages, and cultures. Localization (l10n) and internationalization (i18n) of OpenSolaris operating system introduces multilingual support to the product through the addition of locale support and offers language specific support for the GUI for pre-selected languages and regions. This can result in certain issues and non-expected behavior that needs to be tested
