This is what I agree with completely. I don't like or want the silliness that the Linux world tries to have of integrating every single package in existence. It's too much of a support burden and it often holds packages back. That's why I've always liked the "Universe" approach that Ubuntu, etc. use, or the community repositories Fedora has available. Easily, available, installable, etc. is far preferable to me than integrated into Solaris. Once you do integration, there are expectations created that just aren't reasonable. That and your base os ends up horribly bloated. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/
