Hi
In Linux environment - more specifically - Ubuntu or Fedora - allows me
to get latest version updates of some application packages - say Tomcat
6.0.20 - without requiring me to update kernel. Is this some thing
planned for OpenSolaris 2009.06 or OpenSolaris.Next ?
For example, if I am running a production server running on Tomcat
6.0.18 and if I want to update to Tomcat 6.0.20 , the current way to do
on OpenSolaris would be
a) set the repository to dev
b) update to the latest build
c) reboot the server.
On Linux, If I am not mistaken, I am able to get version updates without
having to do reboot to the new kernel and I don't have to be a paid
customer !.
Kernel in (Open)Solaris covers far more (ex.: libC, etc...) than it does
on GNU/Linux.
That said, you should probably look at OpenSolaris' kernel the way you
look at GNU/Linux distribution release.
Hope it helps.
