mindset:
a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines
how you will interpret and respond to situations
While OpenSolaris has made great strides in the actual product, the stated goal
was to compete with the "linux" market. On this goal OpenSolaris has failed
miserably. If a linux product was introduced with no way to add packages, it
would have a fix released directly or indirectly in less that 24 hours.
In this case the fix is known and the OpenSolaris team has failed to release
same, leaving the community in limbo until they are good and ready to ship.
Clearly the absence of an ability to add content is a major flaw!
This is the Microsoft model not the Linux model and if you hope to compete you
must be responsive to the community needs or the community will simply walk.
On a personal level I think the team has done a great job, they just need to
get the
"linux way mindset" and let the "Sun way be a little more responsive". Yes
pushing
out a single fix is time consuming but it is the linux way. It is noted that
this
is a preview and I agree it is but it is also a preview of what we can expect
from
Sun/opensolaris in regards to support and responsiveness.
