That, imho, may or may not perpetuate Solaris. Solaris
is increasingly becoming a niche OS for 'specialized'
environments with Linux slowly heading in the same

nothing change but unfortunately, the current Solaris
environment does not appeal beyond the current Solaris
market space. It is time that Solaris take on
GNU/Linux by draining their mindshare and then giving
others a reason to move to Solaris when it is no
longer seen as irrelevant and niche.
But, work on this has been going on for a while now. Ever seens
OpenSolaris came into existence, there is renewed vigour for, for
example, laptop support. Live CDs have been created. Sure, there's some
way to go, but all of this is already going on, "project Indiana" or
not. More needs to happen, absolutely, but your comment makes it sound
like there is a status quo right now.
Also, don't assume that some of the hardcore commandline/text
afficionados represent a majority here :-)
