I would just like to comment that people's assumption that a new
project will somehow make hardware support magically appear that does
not exist now is illogical.
The goal for supporting hardware is the same for Solaris as it is for
any distribution based on OpenSolaris technology.
I think its safe to assume that more hardware support in general is a
good thing and is desirable in any situation. A new project does not
somehow make resources appear that did not exist before to make this
happen though.

I would like to know why we can't do this as well. I've also hated all
the "." files and directories that are littered on my system *even if
I don't ever do a graphical login." Of course, we should be
discouraging people from using root login wherever possible and take
advantage of RBAC.

Definitely. ksh93 is awesome for this! Personally, I think with the
right setup, most people wouldn't even realise they were using ksh93
instead of bash. Roland has an amazing script for ksh which does by
number completion which is really handy.
