Hi, a question for the ones wanting a gui server; is there something else not offered by the apps web interfaces that you would really need to administer the server? Once uppon a time, Solaris 10 running the Java desktop environment was offering some comfortable graphical tools... but nowadays I believe there are web guis for those...
I have tendency to ssh tunnel X11 in order to execute a few server apps like the dhcp gui... so a little bit of X11 libraries, wont feel so bad. by the way, if anyone has a good idea how to implement a new kind of Openindiana administrative web gui tool, for example in order to handle some config settings, I could give a hand with the web interface.
