It absolutely is different than any subsequent release (there's been no firm date for the FCS release of 2008.11 other than 'before the end of november'). As for upgrading, yes you *should* be able to. Though keep in mind, until it's released it is a development piece of software. > i need OpenSolaris on a system immediately but i cannot lose data by > reinstalling OS when the FCS version comes out As I said, upgrading from the release candidates to the FCS release should work. But bugs do happen. Plan appropriately. Cheers, -- Glenn
