To quote the news.com article:
"Basic operations, such as the "ls" command to see a listing of files in
a directory, behave differently in Solaris"
colorls here we come!
Anyway. What bothers me is not that there will apparently be an effort
to make the transition from Linux easier, providing the features that a
Linux user is used to, especially on the desktop. Nothing wrong with
that. What does bother me is that articles like this, and their
headlines, make it seem like we want to be "more like Linux", implying
that we lack belief in our own strength.
OpenSolaris is a great OS, technically very advanced, and we have the
community and engineers to do make it the best in the areas where it is
not already. We should not talk in terms of being "more like Linux", but
instead talk about "leveraging our strengths to provide a feature-rich
user experience, surpassing even that of Linux" (hey, I should work in
marketing! ok, maybe not).
