At this point, all of "our" distros are relatively compatible with each other, unlike the general Linux world. If we can define (and effectively sustain) a compatibility culture, we won't have this bug. > John, in our trademark discussions you stated that OpenSolaris should > not be used as a standalone noun.

If we define a compatibility story, then, as Joerg says, it makes sense to call the "thing that inplements and deploys exactly and only those compatibility bits" OpenSolaris. I don't believe for a minute that Indiana 10/07 is such a beast, nor that Indiana 3/08 will limit itself to being only that subset. -John _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
