My level of panic is related to a project that will require a deck load of M4000 servers, Brocade switches and storage and a big issue on the table is "can Oracle be trusted to provide the service we pay for?" If this sort of confusion occurs for much longer then I fear that the entire ssolution will fall over to RHEL and that will end the Solaris based solution. Yes, it is that big a deal to provide support. The only thing that keeps the Solaris solution on the table is the ZFS and cluster features. However, these are not worth much if the support side is deemed a "risk". Anyway, that explains my level of concern here. -- Dennis Clarke dcla...@opensolaris.ca <- Email related to the open source Solaris dcla...@blastwave.org <- Email related to open source for Solaris
