Not "will" -- "may." No distribution based on OpenSolaris bits is under any compulsion to deliver any particular part in OpenSolaris, and that includes future distributions from Sun that are based on OpenSolaris. It seems probable that they'll include what they think is useful or supportable, but that's by no means a guarantee that you'll get _everything_. So, if you're interested in paying for changes to Sun's Solaris, that's great, but I think it's somewhat off-topic here. You need to get the support people involved for that. > If Sun supported my webcam (bug reported), along with my wireless out of > the box on the current release of Solaris - I would purchase it straight > away.

No idea about the webcam, but the latter just won't happen unless someone escalates it. You need to demand a fix for it in Solaris 10, and that has nothing really to do with OpenSolaris. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
