Upon hearing all the noise Sun Micro has been making regarding OpenSolaris I
decided to give it a try. SM promptly sent me a CD, free of charge, which I
immediately installed on my laptop. Installation was as smooth as baby's but.
Even though I have been using Fedora for a number of years, when it came to
Solaris system command structure I was totally lost. Searching the system and
the CD was of no help. Sun website, as usual, full of we-are-the-best stuff
while short on useful info proved to be just that -- no useful info pertaining
to commands.
I could have been looking in wrong places, but any Linux website you go to will
readily direct you to a ton of links dealing with this subject.
Opensolaris seems to be a great os, but I have to ask; Who is behind this
disjointed presentation of it? Why is it that everything that comes out of Sun
Microsystems is so screwed up? Is it beyond their capability to put together a
simple command list? If so, use the common Unix-based commands rather than
some exotic commands conjured up by some Debian genius.
It's too bad. I do admit, it has a potential, nevertheless, not being able to
work with it I had to dump it.
Hopefully, Oracle will clean the house...
