I agree with that completely, though it doesn't quite address one of the original comments that started the email torrent. There's certainly a problem for third-party software makers if they have to recompile for N different "kinds" of Solaris, as they often have to do (with not inconsiderable pain) for Linux. It'd be nice if that problem were mostly avoided by having folks involved with the various flavors attempting to make sure that key parts are still compatible (e.g., not replacing libc with glibc), but managing at least that won't be simple. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
