Because it's been marketed as "OpenSolaris", so people expect to download an installer for OpenSolaris. If you think the Register guy is the only one to have complaints, you're wrong. The first time I went to opensolaris.org, I wondered "where the F*** is OpenSolaris?" I know I'm not the only one. Thanks to Jim for providing more of the project's history. Being a newcomer, I'm not aware of everything that was involved in making OpenSolaris happen, and it's important to realize the progress that has been made - it was, and continues to be a great undertaking. Perhaps the answer to all of this is just to make an OpenSolaris distro happen - and if it works great, if not move on and learn from it. Do folks have the patience for that type of experimenting? -JM _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
