Not sure that's quite true. 2008.05 + 6 months means 2008.11 - ideally it probably needs to be marked 'preview' or something similar. The intention is to release new updates that people can image-update to every 2 weeks as we start working towards a final release in November. So you'll see things morph in real time, and have plenty of opportunity to participate. I'd recommend attending (or listening to a recording) of the planning meeting this Thursday - http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Indiana#OpenSolaris_Community_Strategy_Planning_Meeting Glynn _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
