So SXCR has the latest bits you can get all in a precompiled release. The SX releases go through a bit of testing. SXCR goes out the door if it builds/installs. :) They're also something a company can obtain some support for under the Software Express for Solaris program (http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/). $99 gets you into a forum that'll potentially give you a higher level of interaction with engineering than straight Open Solaris. How much more testing and how much more interaction does depend. I can say I tend to wait for/use the SX releases for things like my laptop because of the increased testing. It's probably not that useful, but it's enough to filter out some annoyances that I may not want to mess with. - Matt -- Matt Ingenthron - Systems Engineer, Software Practice Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Client Solutions http://blogs.sun.com/mingenthron/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 310-242-6439 |
