All right. I did not want to open a can of worms in such a fashion; and I certainly did not wish in any way to impune the efforts and successes by yourself and Derek and others. If I did so; then I humbly offer my sincerest apologies to you both (and anyone similarly affected). Saying that the page "sucks" was indeed out of order; and reprehensible to state as such on my behalf. I (as the Community does) value you both(/all) very highly in terms of ability/integrity and without question commitment. However, Bill summed it up really by saying (paraphrased WRT OpenSolaris Developer Preview) "Please give it a shot but please don't assume it represents the future of openSolaris". Indiana represents one single potential future of OpenSolaris - _the_ only future of OpenSolaris is surely how the codebase evolves, how the Opensolaris Community grows/evolves, and how distros evolve from the seed that has been planted. If I have caused offence, to reiterate, I apologize unreservedly. Regards. Sean. _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
