Sometimes you don't get much of a choice :(

It's an add on repository. I've been using Blastwave long enough that
not using it would be a little odd. I suspect that the old way of using
Blastwave would work fine (or at least better), but the IPS packages
need a few fixes. Or at least the ones I've messed with (exim, clamav,
spamassassin) do.

GNOME? You mean this 'ere OpenSolaris server is wasting resources
running a GUI ? Bugger me that's something to fix :)

 A graphical interface lets any fool run a server. But do you want a
fool running your servers ?
