1) Yes, but you must hope that it will be ok, but I'm not so optimistic in this case. You know Sun is company from USA and they must play well with advocacy. I prefer this politic - http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html -> no problem with multimedia and so on and with strong crypto too as system is prepared in Canada, Norway, Sweden and so on. You can choose what to prefer : protection of really stupid patent politics or legal freedom. And don't think that some other "free" OS are better in this area. Citation : Linux plays nice with everyone, signs any NDA and takes drivers under any conditions...and they get crap, too...but they are content with it!
2) I'm waiting for this one http://www.bsdfund.org/projects/pcc/ so even gcc full of bugs can be left behind. Ok, they are adding features and so on, but looks like no one cares about bugs 3) ;-) Then ok, but you described it as something what you do every hour or so :-) 5) Something very funny for this area ;-) http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#35 2) btfrs is not production ready. They are changing API a lot. It's in dev stage. And Hamme FS is production ready like ZFS is. We've had data loss even with stable ZFS, regular scrub and contract from Sun so........ 6) Mmmm I'm using OpenBSD so something like '# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`' is way quicker and ok for me :-D -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
