Buying hardware for OpenSolaris reminds me of buying hardware for Linux ten years ago. You buy a card that's reported to work, only to find that the chipset has changed and it's no longer supported. This has happened to me with SATA controllers. -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
