Hi Joerg,

I think Daniel meant "Can Sunray server be run on OpenIndiana", not "Can Sunray \
server be compiled and distributed with OpenIndiana".

The former is possible, the latter is obviously not since its closed source software.

In theory Oracle 11g database should run on OpenIndiana, for example.

Cheers,

Alasdair
