It sounds as though Sun is heading in the right direction. I am most
interested in how we can take advantage of Open Solaris for production systems
that serve very narrow, but very high visibility functions and that must meet
strict service levels.
These sort of systems are typically designed
Bart,
Thanks - that sounds perfect. Do I understand then that Sun would offer a
structured (whatever that means) support mechanism for specific stops on
the release train?

I would expect Sun to do that. What actually ends up happening is of
course to be seen :-).

I think it'd be more difficult than that.
OpenSolaris is effectively alpha quality (not even beta!) code, with new and
modified features being introduced every now and then (on disk zfs format has
changed twice!).
Ofcourse, the quality of this allegedly alpha quality code beats some other
If they did I would start selling shares...
Why would you offer support contracts on your alpha and beta products? That you
have asked this question perplexes me.
Microsoft don't go around supporting Release candidates, IBM doesn't offer
contracts on the open AIX beta releases and neither does

How can Sun support something that changes every couple of weeks and
doesn't support patching?
I suppose they could provide a help line with a recorded message please

I recall that there is a degree of developer support around SXDE which is
around developer tools as distinct from production support. maybe even that
they were offering a certain amount for free...
