I completely agree! I think, Sun is trying to follow Redhat-Fedora model. Redhat holds the Fedora trademark (im not sure), but built is able to build Fedora community successfully. Redhat had its RHEL distribution before Fedora is started and also has an official Fedora binary distribution. It looks like, Sun is trying to do the same (Sun-Solaris-OpenSolaris in place of Redhat-RHEL-Fedora) I believe, this doesn't work! In Redhats case, Fedora is just one-more-GNU/Linux community, but in Sun's case OpenSolaris is the ONLY community. Very few get affected with Redhats experiments with Fedora, but here, whole community gets affected with Sun's experiments. This is a BIG difference IMO. Sun management should get this in first place. I believe it is learning... I think, untill Sun really gives up its control and OpenSolaris trademark to the community, OpenSolaris will not get the trust of existing GNU/Linux user base (i will be happy if i was proved wrong) -- bvk-chaitanya _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
