Then I suggest it's time to dump that tradition if OS wants to remain relevant as more than a hobbyist/developer curiosity and not loose traction as production grade platform. As I stated previously, regular releases are MUCH appreciated by managers for planning purposes, etc. For example I know former HP-UX shop who moved the big iron to OBSD because of 1) rock solid stable/security, and 2) clockwork releases. There's a reason they didn't choose Linux (or FreeBSD for that matter). I realize that there has been a substantial degree of linuxization of OS but not everything Linux represents the holy grail nor worthy of emulation. -- Ken Gunderson <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
