Untrue. Solaris is still cool. It's just that Open Solaris is *NOT* the same thing as Sun's Solaris, and quite intentionally so. If we were to exert the same kind of control over Open Solaris as we do over Sun's Solaris, then Open Solaris would die. It would never become what it's supposed to be. That would be a catastrophe. > That's great, I'm all for it, but what's with those of us that still > remember what Solaris *was* and what OpenSolaris *is* today?

That's just not so. Solaris is still what it's always been. The only difference is that you can now get the source and play with it without having to go through the hassles you once had to. There's no "crusade." They're just not the same thing. -- 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]
