Compromise? Rename "OpenSolaris Developer Preview" to "an OpenSolaris Developer Preview" (Notice the "an" part? Good) Have Ian make an apology to the community for not letting the community know what the name of the distro would be prior to the distro being released, and for not allowing discussion and buy-in. Of course, using the word "an" would imply that there are others. If in fact it is Ian's position that there either are no other or that other distros should not exist, then I suggest this "community" is in rough waters. I think then that the OGB needs to work with Sun to get the trademark acceptable policy usage ironed-out an published. At which point it will be clear how the other distros can call themselves. This is especially important because I think many more distros will appear in the near future. So I have a couple of questions: A) Does that solution appeal to anyone? B) Would it work to ease the tension? C) Would it help in the long term? A final thought: I personally look forward to installing Indiana, and I think it's a wonderful effort and kudos by the bucketful need to be swung in all directions. (It hangs on windows virtual pc 2004 btw, will try harder and file bug report). I also look forward to messing with the new packaging system. I think that's going to make a world of difference. -- Chris Mahan http://www.christophermahan.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell 818.943.1850
