Actually, the distribution we're discussing here is SchilliX, which tries to follow the UNIX standards. Also, if you need GNU tar compatibility, `star` should do just peachy, and then some. > I would expect some basic GNU tools, yes; Linux has > nothing to do > with that. And wouldn't it be OpenSoHurd? :) I guess it would be if the purpose was to make Solaris more "homey" to strictly GNU developers. Therein however lies the paradox, which is that the noise about GNU stuff isn't coming from GNU/FSF, but from users who came from Linux. It would at least appear that most people in the Linux world regard GNU and Linux to be synonymous. You and I may make the distinction, but we're a minority in that regard.
