My kids know because its all over my T-shirts. But now you go walk into the compsci areas of almost any university today and ask any one about Solaris or OpenSolaris and they will most likely look at you like you are a fish. That is the market to go after. If you lose that university market then there won't be IT people in four years even looking at Solaris. Go after the faculty, sponsor their research and throw money at it. Research people in some cash strapped faculty just love getting research grants. Dennis
