So, can I safely assume that Indiana means Sun's OpenSolaris present and future binary distribution releases? OpenSolaris 2008.11 can be addressed as Indiana 2008.11 and we would have Indiana 2009.05 after that? I completely understand that "OpenSolaris" itself is the official trademark for the distribution. However it may be informally addressed as Indiana? I particularly am not bothered whether we call it Indiana or something else. I just want to know what it would be called going forward. I am raising this mainly because of the confusion in making search engine optimizations by using relevant keywords, whether it be in blog posts or it be in how-to sort of documents. PS: If we weren't motivated to make up another name, what is Jericho?
