It seems, not everyone is with the same opinion either. I didn't see Ian saying Indiana will be ONLY a core distro without any GNOME/KDE etc. stuff (or i missed such mail) The problem as i see is, Sun _wants_ to keep OpenSolaris trademark for himself and still wants to push a distro on that name through community. This doesn't look good. Sun should donate/give that trademark to the OpenSolaris community first and then should push for community based distro on OpenSolaris name. -- bvk-chaitanya _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
