I like this at the beginning, it's like if it is saying "SunOS": Light as in coming from the "Sun... OS" as in Operating System And i also like the part that it' says about being "package neutral" it would be nice if i could "bootstrap" netbsd's pkgsrc on to a illumos base install and compile the packages i want. i'm probably a few that prefers pkgsrc over rpm,apt-get,yum, but i do like gentoo's emerge:) it's great to see a great list of top partners, illumos will succeed , I think ZFS creator, bill moore works for nexenta, so in a way nexenta is becoming SUN 2.0 ;) i can picture it now "nexenta microsystems", only if they sold units:) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
