Please compare real data. Because OpenBSD:
* has a much smaller number of packages Says who? Take a look at here http://www.openbsd.org/4.6_packages/i386.html (and some packages are only in ports so there is much more packages available) and compare it with dev/contrib/extra repositories of OpenSolaris * often focuses on security instead of updated software so has less to test Wrong. It focuses on correct, stable and clean code. Newer software version doesn't mean mostly something better, but more buggy. Eg. dev 130 and dev 131 have newer versions of software, but are so buggy that a lot of people have problems with those versions. * has a different target audience Yes I know. It's mainly for firewall/router, developers and power users on desktop. But then it's quite similar to OpenSolaris as it's mainly for storage, developers and power users on desktop. Talks from Sun/Oracle about alternative to Linux for normal users are simply jokes because eg. multimedia part of OpenSolaris is so bad. Even OpenBSD can offer much more multimeda packages and codecs. Yea I know. They don't need to care about that stupid IP area. * is volunteer, not commercial product That's why it's even worst that Sun/Oracle with so much money and good engineers can't offer same or even better quality then some volunteer project. Don't take it bad. OpenSolaris has some great and unique features and that's why many people use it even if their main OS is different. But Oracle don't talk about feature of OpenSolaris even at last web cast from conference which was during 27.1. and it looks like there is a problem in QA area between releases. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
