Sorry Jorg, but users don't want to drown in choices. They shouldn't need to read six paragraphs explaining what they should download and why. We should have an official community distribution that is prominent and the other ones can be easily gotten to as well. If people have to read six paragraphs of text before they can do anything useful; they'll likely just say "this sucks! I'll stick with Linux!" and go somewhere else. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
