Let's face it, Ian. Solaris/OpenSolaris does not have the best track record for usability. It is a preconception we are going to have to counter, person by person. If you are sick of it, you might as well unsubscribe from this list, as it's going to go on for a lot longer than it will take to fix the problems. I also feel that this list is an appropriate place, as any, for people to express their thoughts on what they think OpenSolaris is. (Even if some facts may be inaccurate, or out of date.) It takes time to overcome preconceived notions. e.g. - Apple used to be viewed as a manufacturer of underpowered, buggy, slow, overpriced machines. It took many years for people to come to respect Apple again. (In my opinion it was years after the core issues had been resolved). Now they are overpriced and, most importantly, desirable. ;) -Brian P.S. - OpenSolaris has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go..
