Dear Mr. Foster,
Thanks for your reply as a geekwanttobe I've been trying to follow Sun's
progression. Could you better explain? Originally the software compiled to
binaries with sun's compilers were incorporated into distro's by another party
belenix,martux_mbe,nexentaos,schillix, of course not in that order but done
just the same. Now 2008.05 is its own distro indiana cross? All of this is real
confusing to a newbe but to me the core difference lie in what is compiled with
a sun compiler and what is compiled with gnu. The subsequent userland of the
server and software.
Sun actually gets even more complicated in that it has compiled software
available in separate directory usr/sfw which is not in root path environment
but ties to applications delivered. Could you give any clarity to any of these
points?? I realize my interpretation is not correct.
john
