Eh, someone from the Linux world sets foot into Sun, and bam, the annoying LINUX! LINUX! LINUX! trend starts all over. For ditching Windows, one reason I chose Solaris was to stay away from this and these annoying politics.
Anyway, if they're going to Linuxify the system, I hope they're going to do this by side-by-side installs. With this I mean userland by username, i.e. root gets me the traditional userland while toor would get me GNU or that Linuxified environment. For that matter, the userlands aren't that different. Solaris has a little less comfort in that it doesn't imply parameters or helps you with everything (e.g. useradd on Solaris vs. Linux). Anything that runs under X11 is virtually the same between the operating systems. Also, I do hope that Solaris will not be GPL'd. Everything would be ported to Linux and Solaris would be left sitting in the moonlight. -mg This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
