"Solaris also lacks any packaging capabilities within the installer
so that the end-user could
select what specific packages or classes of packages to add or
remove from the installation
manifest."
This statement is partly inaccurate. The package selection option was
I guess intentionally
removed from the SXDE install path. It is present if you go via the
Solaris Express Grub
menu route.
"This distribution will be licensed under the GPLv3, of course"
Whoa ... where was this mentioned ?
But overall it is an interesting comparison.
