Hi Thomas,
Your points (in the first email) are good, and true... but, my
understanding was that this video was going to be sent to people who
were already familiar with Sun technologies, but *not* necessarily
familiar with OpenSolaris. My thought was the audience was typically
going to be sysadmins or developers running on Solaris 9 or 10 that had
not been exposed to OpenSolaris.
True, it's not a video you could/would-want-to share with people
either interested in in-depth technical content (do people even watch
video casts for that kind of content? I know I don't) or who are
completely new to Solaris or OpenSolaris. That's definitely something
Sun should keep in mind for future videos though; I'll forward the
suggestion on.
cheers,
steve
