Maybe I am saying something stupid, but still... My a little one yen in the discussion: who actually expects Solaris to be a desktop platform anyway? We have evilapplefanboys macs and Linux around, specially for that. For example, Mac outperforming on desktop anyway by software quality and amount, and Solaris is perfectly accessible via "ssh -X" if I need to do so. Hence personally I see Solaris as a true server OS and thus I would rather more like find it with a tickless kernel to let it make sense running on ARM, instead of having yet another "Not-yet-ubuntu" with so-so desktop quality, that even can not run Skype natively. Just my little notice, and if I am wrong — please correct. :-) -- bo _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.illumos.org/m/listinfo/discuss
