That depends on how you define "systems world". I don't know anyone who uses Ubuntu. I do know a number of people who use CentOS. I know many more who use Mac OS X. > I don't want this project to suffer the fate of Sun, a company with > brilliant engineers and technology that never got widely adopted because > they couldn't communicate to a broader audience. Hmmmm... if it had been that easy, I think Sun would have done it. Water under the bridge, though. But please don't harbor any illusions that it will ever come to a wide- spread adoption of Illumos/OI. It will not. This project will live on as long as there are people interested in working on it, not just using it. That's good. I can live with that. > I'll jump off this thread for a while now, to save your delete finger some > effort :D (rubbing finger now :-) Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
