If you're trying to use Solaris and are expecting Linux, then you should probably just use Linux and no one should attempt to convince you otherwise, as it seems that you've already set up a sort of self- fulfilling prophecy for yourself. If Linux offers the homely comforts you've come to expect and not wish to compromise on, then that would make sense, no? But here you are, detailing the differences with Solaris that you've ran in to. That's fine, everyone does that. But you're doing it in a, shall we say, non-constructive manner. Are you just complaining with no intention of following up, or are you grousing because you actually care and want to improve or at least understand Solaris more? As for me, I wouldn't care to write this email if I wasn't interested in helping you and others understand what Solaris is and where it comes from and where it could go. Accepting that help is up to you though. Just let us know. /dale _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
