As soon as Ubuntu supported "click this button to upgrade your entire OS
flawlessly from the internet", that feature became a standard for everyone to
meet.
I take it as a given that Solaris/OpenSolaris will eventually support such a
feature. I hope I am not wrong!

Please make them just downloadable as individual pdfs, r
SXDE docs are there but the suggestion is that they are vintage 2/07 per
one of the headings. Maybe they are up to date with the latest
OpenSolaris drop, I don't know.
One thing I find rather annoying about Sun documentation retrieval -
maybe it's just my ignorance - is that the documents ha

Isn't it all available
Hiya Alan,
Yes, of course, you can get PDF of each document on docs.sun.com, you
just have to navigate to each book to get to the downloadable PDF option
and it's painful slow (they say a HW upgrade is coming). But, I don't
speak for Christopher, just my own experience, so maybe I wrongly

They sure are.
On my Ultra 5, Solaris
Will do! We're hotly working on a script to go through all the sources
and create PDFs, so we can just serve them up in one tarball on
OpenSolaris. Thanks for your time to reply, much appreciated.

Was that intended as a joke?
No, I'll explain why...
Static linking introduces horrors that are far harder to solve than
any of the issues I mentioned with dynamic linking. You can't patch,
for one thing.
So it doesn't work in all scenarios. It's not perfect, just like anything
