base: master
Are you sure you want to change the base?

@Mno-hime Can you find some native speaker to read out text? Also, what are we going to do with current translations? |
Added "motivational" paragraph on "why OpenIndiana and illumos" based on Aurélien's https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/oracle-solaris/1056346-openindiana-2018-10-released-with-mate-1-20-desktop-gcc-8-python-3-5-support?p=1056422#post1056422. For the rest it's mostly clarifications and better suited links to documentation.
Email sent to -discuss about the English text. I also asked for other native language speakers' help. But I think we should ship the updated English text regardless the availability of updated translations, once the English text is deemed OK. |

Saw a request for review on the mailing list. I'm a native English-speaker, so I've suggested some minor changes; some are technical, others colloquial.
