I am a recent lurker who relatively recently started using Solaris (2004 with Solaris 9 on used Ultra 2 and 5 + Solaris 10 on ultra 20). I don't know how valid my input is - I certainly haven't done any programming work on any of the components. Keeping that in mind: I really like the 'zonos' name. It reflects the most famous recent 'killer feature' of Solaris besides zfs and it rolls off the tongue easily. zonos/ZONOS is also visually symmetrical which lends itself well to logos and the like. The name is also simple and sounds 'professional' for lack of a better word. It also doesn't directly bring up associations to things like linux does to linus or refer to silly animal mascots. Just a thought. -Phil Kaskela _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
