Color terminal by default. Darren Kenny has added a note in the wiki page about your 'Color terminal by default' comment:
- Please explain this - xterm & gnome-terminal have both had color support by default since Solaris 9. (in http://wiki.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Gap_Analysis) Do you mind explaining what you mean by this? am I correct to pressume you mean 'ls --color'? For future reference... it would be nice if people made this comments in this thread first, so they can be discussed and then added to the wiki. Specially since there is a bigger chance for the parties to read it/notice it here than in the wiki. Thanks! \m/ Luis > > 1. When swapping, OpenSolaris desktop is unusable compared to Linux. > > 2.
