They only care about Linux because it is the only well supported architecture inside Debian; it makes sense. Anyway, that is not a rules. I mean, if we work to get OpenSolaris as another well accepted arch on Debian, that behavior will change. There are another accepted architectures in which some people are working on. I think it is a really good sign and probes that Debian is not so Linux-centric. :-) -- Greetings, alo. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
