The thing that so many people already call or think *is* OpenSolaris online? So why not use the name as people expect it to be used? Having an OpenSolaris Distribution, such as Indiana, helps ease so many of the complaints users and others have had about SXCE (e.g. torrent, mirror sites, etc.). I think meeting user expectations is more important than stroking egos. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben
