Agreed. That's why its easy to image, down the road, variants of
Indiana such as (for example):
OpenSolaris Indiana
OpenSolaris Indiana TestDrive
OpenSolaris Indiana Desktop
OpenSolaris Indiana Server
OpenSolaris Indiana Workstation
in the same way we see (today):
Ubuntu Desktop Edition
Ubuntu Server Edition
with room to grow in any direction in the (near-term/far-term) future.
