In nexenta, you can live upgrade to the next release with apt.
I've had many a "live upgrade" go awry over the years with Linux distributions. I'd be more impressed with a reliable upgrade system, even if it requires a reboot with media or special boot mode that is faster than the current process. "live upgrade" in the "linux" context strikes me as a "shiny" rather than "practical" thing in my personal experience. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
