There are things available in Open Solaris that are not yet in any Solaris release (such as some of the Clearview components). There may even be things in Open Solaris that will _never_ be part of any Solaris release (though it's clearly not worthwhile to name such things). That makes them different. If it were valid to say that Sun's Solaris and Open Solaris are the "same thing" because the former is based on the latter, then it'd be equally valid to say that Nexenta is also the "same thing" because it is, too, based on Open Solaris. -- 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]
