Doesn't work with Samsung x20 /w ATI x600 ;)

Works on my Desktop with Nvidia but:

- SiS on board sound is not recognized.
- I cannot add extra respositories which are described on the opensolaris page
- In Mozilla I cannot open directly the flash package. Instead I have to save it and open it afterwards.
- The GUI for appliying static IP always freezes --> so back to terminal

Just the first impression in 10 minutes.
Hope 2009.04 will be more polished.
