Well, I tried this whole Solaris on my notebook thing on a lark anyway, because of my affection for Solaris; regardless of her age, she's still a beauty to me. Anyone looking for depth and quality is going to find it in abundance in Solaris. I also want to be clear -because it is important to note in this forum- that it was my ignorance of the available code bases which led to a poor choice, not any flaws in Solaris itself...I just went with what I know. And, though I knew OpenSolaris was here, I had not looked at it closely, until now. Clearly, there are offerings that are going to work just fine, and I am looking forward to installing them. Therefore, by any measure of reason and integrity, I am compelled to concede your point that that my evaluation is premature, that it was directed at the wrong product, and therefore lacks value in this forum -other than to serve as a warning of the problems that may arise as a result of exercising "a little" knowledge. I'll give SXDE or SXCE a shot on one of my test boxes. I have a lot of hardware, which I use for different platform integration configurations. Sometimes, pieces of it sit here for a week or so, which presents an occasional opportunity to play in the sandbox. FYI: I dl'ed several of the OpenSolaris bases yesterday, with the intent of installing one on this notebook; I'll let you know how it goes. I will give Solaris Express a shot at the HD and the beleniX "live" DVD version an occasional spin to watch it grow. ejm This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
