Yes, it does. And the majorty of people relating their ambivalence about
pushing OpenSolaris into production in the near future are talking about
servers. In our datacenters. And convincing our bosses that it's a good idea to
so do.
The whole tone of this thread are sysadmins being wary of unproven change. We
don't care if it runs on your laptop. Are you being disingenuous on purpose or
just not paying attention?
I'm paying attention, but everyone has their own interpretation of
statements made. Regardless, I feel it is perfectly valid to point out
that it is useable on laptops and workstations.
In addition, I also believe that OpenSolaris in its current state is
usable in a datacenter depending on your usage and deployment
requirements. For example, Amazon EC3's service offers OpenSolaris
images, which obviously run in a datacenter.
