We have seen some unfortunate miscommunication here, and misinterpretation.
This extends into differences of culture. One of the vocal person in here is
surely not 'Anti-xyz'; rather I sense his intense desire to further the
progress by pointing his finger to some potential wounds.
I really don't have a dog in this fight but I think what we've seen here
is the behavior of a person who is too lazy to read the manual, unable
to understand the technology they are working with, and unwilling to
face the consequences of their own behavior. As the Solaris user base
increases though, the number of people like this will increase. The
general population do not read the manuals nor do they care how the
magic box works, they just want it to work. This is entirely appropriate
for a business user who is using the computer as a means to an end. They
have their area of expertise, which isn't computers. Of course, it
really isn't appropriate for a system administrator so I can't generate
a lot of sympathy for DE personally, especially after the manner in
which he has behaved in this thread.
Turning Solaris into something that can be used with the same amount of
thought as a toaster is one of the challenges facing the Sun and the
community in the future. Designing guards to prevent the ignorant from
harming themselves is a challenge (see quote below).
