There are many GNU programs that are made available by illumos distributions, largely because they provide useful capabilities, and because users expect and/or like them to be present. The answer to "how many" varies between distributions and what individual users have installed. You can run illumos with no GNU utilities at all (although, sadly, we're still dependent on a GNU toolchain to build illumos itself). -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------ illumos: illumos-discuss Permalink: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T00f6581e133964dc-M9a797e5e7e749d8aa573c6a9 Delivery options: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
