And even, if! Would (I said w o u l d) that matter? People pay for bread, electricity, going to the toilet, for their own grave, even for Microsoft - warez. Why not for a real UNIX OS??? And once again, don´t care about the distro. There are a few good alternative distos, always have been. They are not only longer on the market, than www.opensolaris.com, but it is even the other way around: Indiana was mostly derived from BeleniX and SchilliX!!! So what? Build your own distro, or take one of the free alternatives: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/downloads Everything must be open. Everything must be for free. What is the counter-contribution for this??? Is this a user-community like that of Wondows 7? Or are there 2 directions? If Oracle increasingly commercializes their distro, then the alternative distros will finally flurish again! %martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
