== What is Korona? ==
Korona is a live DVD that makes it easy to peek at the current state of porting KDE4 to OpenSolaris.
It's [http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_on_Solaris/OpenSolaris/LiveCDHowTo created] by adding the packages of the KDE-Solaris project on top of a regular OpenSolaris image. Apart from setting KDE as default, there are no other customizations.

== Download ==
ISOs are posted regularly at [http://genunix.org genunix.org]

== Can I install Korona and use it in production environment? ==
Please don't :-)<br>
Korona is not really a distribution. It's meant to be a test-drive thing.
<br>
If Korona is not stable enough for you, then have a look at [http://www.belenix.org/ Belenix]. <br>
If you like Korona, you may be better off installing regular OpenSolaris and installing KDE from the KDE-Solaris IPS repository (check the [http://opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=187 forum] for latest news).

== So what works and what's broken? ==
See the [http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_on_Solaris/OpenSolaris/Status Status] page.

== I want to join the developers/build my own KDE packages ==
A [http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_on_Solaris/OpenSolaris#Effortless_building_of_KDE_4.3 step by step guide] is available.

== Contact ==
There is a [http://opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=187 forum].
Developers hang out at the #kde4-solaris IRC channel of Freenode.
