The issue may be one of "de facto" vs "defined as being" released. There is no such thing as a released Solaris revision that responds to uname with SunOS5.11 yet. When Sun/Oracle actually releases something AND you can buy a support contract for it then you have a valid platform in commercial use. Having said that .. I see roughly 30% of all my traffic from SunOS5.11 users on either Solaris Nevada or OpenSolaris beta releases. The question should be ... do we in the community end user world see SunOS5.11 as being a de facto release? I would say yes. Solaris 10 is the enterprise class commercial grade Solaris release and it is staying put for a long long long time yet. -- Dennis Clarke dcla...@opensolaris.ca <- Email related to the open source Solaris dcla...@blastwave.org <- Email related to open source for Solaris
