Suse is really funny. They claim that they need to "enhance" cdrecord in order
to get the quality level they intend for Suse.....
I've seen Suse-10.2 on a IBM notebook, it was impossible to make their
cdrecord clone even see the CD/DVD drive of the notebook. A vanilla cdrecord
on the other side works out of the box even without the need to specify a
dev= parameter.
Linux distributions got into trouble because more and more Linux users did no
longer buy Linux distributions but downloaded them from the network. This
caused pressure on the commercial Linux distributors. As commercial Linux
distributions are interested in revenue, they need "arguments" they can print
on glossy paper...
In order to get these arguments, they are no longer interested in code
quality. Instead they are interested in marketing "facts".
I am in hope this will not happen to Solaris.
