to bad for you? I don't know how to respond to that... some people
don't want Gnome as the default desktop environment, but sometimes
decisions need to be made
HA! So to make sure that it remains so you want to hijack this thread
instead of starting your own post about the lack of infrastructure for
opensolaris developers?

who said anything about banning? Sun's allowed to make whatever
products they like.
Oh, I thought you were completely against Sun Microsystems benefiting
in any way at all whether directly or indirectly.

sun could easily start offering support, and it can be community
supported as well. As I understand it they want ian's distro to be a
"community" distro as well... why bless SUNW's community distro
instead of one that already exists with the elevated position of being
The reference? just because they're Sun microsystems? That's not how
open development works...
I am not talking about technical support. You have a problem with Ian
taking the step of proposing a community distro? Why not Schillix,
Belenix or Nexenta you say? How about they have not been very
successful in drawing new users? If those who participate in
OpenSolaris consist entirely of just Solaris users and Sun engineers,
OpenSolaris will not go anywhere new. Nexenta has potential but they
are rather short handed and I do not have to wonder why.
