Jake Good short and insight comment about SchilliX distribution. The bigger problem is funding issue. I don't know solution for opensolaris funding issue. blastware was in trouble and now Schillix project. Sun has a good bussiness model by supporting Solaris, but where is the bussiness model for OpenSolaris ? can people make a living out of opensolaris work ? Once release in early Novemenber, I am interested to translate the livecd process into one of the modulesin opensolaris-20050909.sb at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSolaris/Developer Do you think will we end up like Linux to have 300+ distribution ? It is worng do discouge innovation but we should avoid unafforable variations to drain the limited and free-time resources. I WISH we have one OpenSolaris LIVE CD, one embeded OpenSolaris, one OpenSolaris Sparc and one OpenSoarlis i386/AMD64, that is it. tj yang This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
