I'm wondering if there's a misunderstanding here. The meaning of "binary
distro" that Shawn has in mind might be very different from the meaning Alo
has in mind (I think). Based on his reply to BVK-Chaitanya (correct me if
I'm wrong), the OpenSolaris ISO download Alo has in mind would be a core
only, not really a traditional distro at all (because if it were, then what
does that mean for BeleniX, MarTUX, etc...). Instead it would be a
barebones thing (no desktop, no webstack, etc) intended for others to use
to create derivitives from (e.g. full-fledged distros like BeleniX, etc.)
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.
