Like I wrote before, you really should at least try to understand more about the stuff you are about to diss. Solaris's lp uses PPD files just like CUPS does, in fact the some of the CUPS stuff has been integrated into Solaris's printing subsystem, like IPP for example. So what you are dissing is something that you've been praising at the same time. > Wonderful, when it doubt, claim that any improvement > to the user experience > is 'dumbing down' - just a quick question, who has > 95% of the desktop? Windows, but why should we care? The first thing that launches automatically when I log into my Solaris desktop are two xterms anyway. I spend about 0.1% of my time working with the GUI. Give people a GUI and dumb the system down -- so we end up with more clueless users? If it were up to me, I would NEVER make computers available to the masses -- the best computing experience I ever had were the years when you could count the number of people with computers on the fingers of my both hands! We had some good code, good tools and nice systems. Then PCs happened and everything went to hell. > Pulease, I don't even know why I'm replying, but need > I remind you that > Solaris isn't just a server OS, but a workstation one > as well - if the > workstation experience is shit, then no one will run > it as a workstation, > meaning less dollars in Johnny's pocket, and an > unhappy Scott (as he see's > his shares nose dive). Reality check -- most of the BIG money is made selling servers, and of that supercomputers, not workstations. In reality, nobody gives a crap about your desktop system -- that's not where the money is and YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE A DESKTOP BECAUSE THE NETWORK IS THE COMPUTER.
