But Joerg, most of the us working on Indiana have not talked about forsaking our so-called UNIX roots in order to turn the platform into a strictly GNU/Linux "inspired" platform. Rather, what we've been saying is there are aspects of the latter platform which can be brought to OpenSolaris without losing or betraying those UNIX roots. dsc _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
