With no clear _support_ (AFAIK), I might use it for a bleeding-edge web site-based operation, as long as I had the resources to do plenty of testing. But no way would I use it for a power plant or a bank (as I might, were I in that position, with Solaris 10, for which support is not a problem). (I can think of at least one business that started out using OpenSolaris, although what they're doing in the absence of support, I have no idea.) One might perhaps be excused from suspecting that with OpenSolaris (the distro), we're basically alpha-testers plus occasional contributors. More than guinea pigs, but less than customers (although in as far as we're not paying money, maybe we _are_ less than customers, at least according to the perspective of contributing directly to the bottom line of the company that pays most of the developers :-) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
