Historically, Solaris has been used in many secure environments. I've been working in one of those. With no network access and restrictions on the media you can use there, yes, it becomes a pain. It's simply impossible to install a repository in each secure network: the cost would be too high. I know it's a particular case, and maybe Sun doesn't care about those customers anymore (their salespeople sure didn't look like they cared much...). But its' a case where IPS, right now, fails. > Oh ye of little faith ;) Well, actually, I don't really think it matters that much. The success, or not, of IPS, isn't the same as the success or not of OpenSolaris.com, or the OpenSolaris distributions. That something I disagree with Ben :-) Laurent
