Thank you. Easy of upgrades/updates is just what I
feel will give Open Solaris a big push. Please don't
give me the Solaris 10 + Sun Connection.
Sun Connection is very easy to use to manage updates and is all you're
likely to need in a *production* environment. So I don't understand
your compliant. Given that you have never indicated actual usage of
it, I think it is unfair for you to be critical of it.
Upgrades are easy right now, especially using liveupgrade or flash
archives. Heck, even running the upgrade option from the installer is
pretty easy.
I'm fairly certain you're still talking about updates in a
*non*-production environment.
