"Proposition 1" (P1) Schillix, Martux,Belenix and NexentaOS are obviously not going to be Sun Solaris 11.
"Proposition 2" (P2) SXCE (and SXDE) are going to be Sun Solaris 11 eventually, or at least their aim is to provide an unstable testing bed for Solaris 11 Note: The C stands for "Community". "Proposition 3" (P3) Somehow Indiana became THE one and only (?) OpenSolaris community distribution. Let's do some propositional logic: -- Let's assume P1 is correct * (P1 && P2) is true * (P1 && P3) is true -- -- Let's assume P2 is correct AND P3 is correct * (P1 && P3) is false If there is only ONE community OpenSolaris edition, then SXCE can't possibly be it, if P3 is true. -- Now let's make some wild statements: -- "Sun Microsystems will base their distribution on SXCE." (S1) * (P2 && S1) is true But this means that: * (P3 && S1) is false ...and Solaris 11 (i.e. the one you can pay for that is the REAL Unix (tm) Solaris) won't be based on the Indiana (community) distribution. "Sun Microssystems will base their distribution on Indiana." (S2) * (P2 && S2) is false * (P2 && S3) is true But WHAT is SXCE then - just a "name"? ... When I joined the OpenSolaris community I quickly learned and understood what Schillix, Belenix, NexentaOS, SXCE and then SXDE were, and what Solaris 11 would come from. But with the arrival of Indiana, I've become confused about: * SXCE * SCDE * Solaris 11 My goal is to participate in the community part of helping to develop Solaris 11 - but I think the community took a turn and I missed it. DSL (PS: This isn't a rant AGAINST any of the distributions including Indiana. I think that Ian Murdock's explanation of its purpose is quite good. It's just me trying to express my confusion as I think I've missed something.) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
