I suppose what he meant was "FreeBSD too has zfs" (but an older version currently). But I suppose the issue here is that there are quite a lot of bitterness from people who _HAD_ a perpetual license for Solaris (issued by Sun), and now have nothing of the sort, unless they hand over a lot of money to Oracle, both for hardware, and a service-agreement. This move makes a certain database corporation seem almost as bad as the coin-oped antivirus-vendors who operate by the slogan "insert more money". I can understand that bitterness. I can understand that someone wants to dub Larry "Darth Ellison" over this. But I agree that some language in this thread has become ... too heated. Even for someone like me who has English as a second language, I see that the thread has gotten out of hand, with personal insults thrown everywhere. Those who are bitter at Oracle's move, would better remember that the Sun engineers are as much victims of this as they are, and should not be crucified over what the suits in "management" has done. Those engineers have actually done their best to give us the best operating system they could. While still being in fear of their own jobs (due to a certain Sith Lord taking over their employer). So direct your anger towards those who have done both you, and the engineers harm, not against the other group of victims. //Svein -- --------+-------------------+------------------------------- /"\ |Svein Skogen | [email protected] \ / |Solberg Østli 9 | PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X |2020 Skedsmokorset | [email protected] / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | [email protected] ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | [email protected] Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +-------------------+------------------------------- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |[email protected] | RIPE handle: SS16503-RIPE --------+-------------------+------------------------------- If you really are in a hurry, mail me at [email protected] This mailbox goes directly to my cellphone and is checked even when I'm not in front of my computer. ------------------------------------------------------------ Picture Gallery: https://gallery.stillbilde.net/v/svein/ ------------------------------------------------------------
