That's probably true for every distributor. However, when I first

dropping the Solaris builds (back around 1.0.2 IIRC) to make way for

there were howls of protest - "Drop something else, but NOT Solaris,
please!". fortunately, I was able to get a tool which allowed me to

duplicate files and replace them with links, thus shrinking the image

Actually Alex,
I can understand their position now. Sun are a significant
stakeholder, by virtue of their contribution, and for us to drop
support for their flagship product would be an ungrateful slap in the
face. I have adjusted my view, as a rsult of this realisation, and so
now I will keep a Solaris version of OOo on my hard disk in case I get
a request for it. Just my way of saying "thanks". I actually got very
excited about all of this back at Star Office 5.2, which had amazing
integration of features, well beyond the imagination of the Redmond
crew.
