I appreciate the time you guys take to answer here. That said, it leaves me thinking, that Oracle/sun will only appeal to big accounts then. I'm all for paid support and all, however, the trend I see is (at least in Montreal metro.) SMB and not so small companies are looking into X86, X64 solutions! By not having enterprise support for Opensolaris, it kills any business case in its favor. Personally, I have no problem reverting back to Solaris and hope it evolves (often) with all the goodies you put in Opensolaris.
Off Topic: I just completed a proof of concept for a customer where they wanted everything OpenSource and free and Linux ... My toolbox was Opensolaris (so that I'll know if it is going to work), so I started configuring everything, documented it and then I built the Ubuntu server 9.10, in brief it took me twice as long under linux than on opensolaris, and I'm computer literate, in the end, the customer was happy with the 100 pages document under Linux. The main reason for this customer to pick Ubuntu was the hardware supported by HP, and the popularity and help he can pick off the Internet! Everyone has to earn a living. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
