No, we should ship top and give users what they want.
So, let's ship Microsoft Office with wine facilities. It's what the people want ;-) I regard the aim as being to provide a useful and user-friendly
environment, not to explicitly advertise to the user how deficient and user-hostile Solaris is.
The point here, people are used to top, but that doesn't mean, that people want top. They only want a way to know what could be eating all their memory or CPU. Actually, top is not something you can trust that much as a measure of that, OpenSolaris has better tools for achieve that. Explaining the user which tools should he use for achieve his goals is not hostility at all. Fixing this doesn't break compatibility. It enhances the
environment for everyone. And it's not about Linux or whatever - I've been typing 'ps uax' and 'top' since well before Linux existed.
Maybe, what we should do is provide a better top than top. Meanwhile, Tim's approach is useful. Actually it is not only useful, but the first bunch of code for Indiana!) -- Un saludo, Alberto Ruiz
