I agree completely! We need to move away from this idea that we're still "preaching to the choir". OpenSolaris is (among other things) an attempt to reach out to whole new classes of users. Until we all get on board with this, we are going to be severely limiting ourselves and OpenSolaris' growth in the operating system space. Rainer This message posted from opensolaris.org
