Re: [osol-discuss] Using OpenSolaris in production?

2008-05-23 Thread Claus Guttesen
When it comes to application development based on open source products I'll give FreeBSD the edge. Installing and maintaining postgresql, apache, (ruby on) rails, php, ImageMagick etc. from FreeBSD's ports-collection is very easy, trying to get ImageMagick later than 6.3.0 on solaris on x86

I'd like to point out this stupidity in the localization of scp/ssh, that can have *VERY* dangerous consequences (like being locked out of your server). At the first connection ssh asks you if you want to continue the connection towards an unknown host, but the italian-localized version

Is it just me, or is this something that no one wants to say out aloud? This is an ENTERPRISE level operating system from SUN, one of the big dogs! And yet, even an initial install seems to be a nightmare. The installer interface looks like it was designed in the 70s, it can't find half the

Should I read that as Sun doesn't really want to make Solaris a mainstream O/S? Because if they really are (Why else would OpenSolaris exist?) I don't get the whole who cares about GUI, it's all int he command line! concept. Command lines though useful in doing batch processing and clumping
