I am not sure if a general business model for OpenSolaris would help SchilliX. Since Spring 2005 I am working on SchilliX during my office hours at Fokus. This may be forced to end soon unless we find a way to fund the project. If I don't have my employed student anymore and if I need to share my free time with working on star, cdrecord, SchilliX and other free software, I will be much slower than I am today. > 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 The SchilliX Kit is available since yesterday, so you could start to document it. ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schillix/schillix-0.2-kit.tar > Do you think will we end up like Linux to have 300+ distribution ? I was in hope that we could have a unified corporate aproach for a Life CD or distribution as it is done by e.g. the FreeBSD people. It seems that people who are interested in OpenSolaris don't like the corporate aproach but all try to run their own "business" which results in being less effective than possible. > 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. I would cuncur but I doubt that it will be this way. The track switches are already set and you cannot turn the clock back. I am even sure that there are people who would prefer a "Gnusolaris" distribution. I personally prefer an OS that behaves like UNIX.....
