I forgot to include the list in my original reply to Przemyslaw.

The decision to give the GNU userland precedence by default over the traditional Solaris userland has repeatedly been justified as making OpenSolaris more Linux-friendly in an attempt to attract Linux users. This goal - attracting more Linux users - is also behind the emphasis on making everything GUI/Wizard based from what I can tell. The point I was trying to make is that many of the decisions that have been made in order to chase this pipedream (getting a Linux user to convert to *anything* that doesn't use the GPL is like trying to convince someone at Jonestown to not drink the Kool-Aid), have broken Solaris in the server/datacenter/enterprise world. I strongly believe that chasing desktop/single instance users at the expense of the server/enterprise users is an even more stupid decision than the way that Sun treated Solaris x86 for years. To put it *very* bluntly, if I can not install OpenSolaris with a customized/minimized build over the network via a serial or LOM connection on hundreds of systems at time in an automated, hands-off way that leaves me a system configured the way I want/need it after the very first reboot without having to do further configuration when the system comes up, then I'm not interested in running OpenSolaris. I do not think I am alone in that regard. fpsm On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 4:10 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 11:34:28AM -0400, Fredrich Maney wrote: >> I will concur.
