I don't know what demographic Sun is looking at for Indiana, but I can tell you that the part of the internet that I come from is perhaps exclusively interested in opensolaris as a ZFS file server. So to leave that out would be a missed opportunity to say the least. It should be pretty obvious by now that ZFS is at least as popular as opensolaris itself... ( http://www.google.com/trends?q=zfs%2C+dtrace%2C+opensolaris&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 ) Every linux distro has GNU and gnome or KDE. Nobody has ZFS. To not capitalize on ZFS in every way possible would be, I'd say, not good. :) > Since we don't yet have a JRE that can be included It was my understanding that the JRE would be included, so it would make sense to plan for that. (Ian Murdock on this: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=134939#134939 ) I also see from Moinak and Anil that the JRE is reasonably sized: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=134668#134668 http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=134696#134696 > As the native CIFS support is expected "soon" I thought there was only a CIFS client project, not a CIFS server project. :( Can you point me to the CIFS server project? As far as the space of individual components like webmin and smcserver and Samba and SWAT go, I obviously don't know what will fit and what won't. All I can say is that from my experience as a casual SXCE user, I wasn't able to do much of anything with SXCE without those tools. And it took me hours of tinkering just to read about their existence via google searches. So I think it would be a disservice to other new users to leave them obscured (or even worse removed) from Indiana. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
