Alexander, and Predrag,

Thank you for the information. Currently I am using OI 151a9 for a web/ftp/mail server exposed to Internet. I am satisfied with the stability but concerned that this branch is not supported. I will consider hipster next time when I need to setup a server (it may be an intranet database server or something like a backend for an online service). I think that hipster is stable enough and hope that some future update will not beak everything :)

Best regards,
Dmitry.

I moved to OmniOS because I was unable to upgrade hipster at one point as it broke the bge driver (in a very frustrating way as it looked like all packets were being filtered). I tried several times as new releases were available without success. Eventually decided to go to OmniOS as it met my needs and had stable and LTS versions. I still think that OpenIndiana via hipster is really good and would use it for a desktop or laptop when applicable, but having an X-server wasn't a necessity for my server setup. OmniOS has a minimal footprint and can use pkgsrc (supported by Joyent) to bring in lots of supported and latest packages you may need.

Gary
